For over 70 years, graphic novels and comic books have been entertaining young and old alike. At the beginning of the 21st century subtle changes have begun to produce their mark on this medium. The characters have gone from a G. rating to a PG rating and in some cases rated R. The villains tend to be more villainous, the superheroes tend to be more powerful and the relationship between the two has evolved.Comic book universes became more cohesive as characters moved from one book to another in one sitting the overall story arcs. Sometimes subplots are incorporated in the story so when a future occurrence materializes, you are cognizant of it. the motion picture industry have taken notice of the increased complexity of comic book stories and characters; they have found new source material. This symbiotic relationship between comics and film has drawn fans from both media together to share the excitement of this amalgamation.For years I have railed against the absolute ignorance of writers, directors and designers who felt they knew how to adapt comics to the screen. Filmmakers just did not grasp the proper technique for translating the unique storytelling style of comics to their medium. Comic books in the twenty-first century allows readers to read and conceptualize the story, then watch the big screen to see if the writer and director had the same perception as you did. As a comic book artist who have also worked in film and television, I felt like a snob as I criticized the obvious mistakes made by producers, directors and writers over the years.Over the last decade, we’ve watched heroes fall or lose their moral compass. The demise doesn’t usually last long by human standards, but in a comic book’s life, years could have transpired. To their credit, writers and artists have been able to produce you feel for these characters that are about to meet their end. You are frustrated by the injustice of their death Revenge on the villain is sought but is tempered by the wisdom of the prevailing heroes. Like any police officer or firefighter, these heroes understood the risk they were undertaking; the writers understood those risks as well and continue to play them out to the bitter end. On occasion you may even feel you were present when the incident occurred. Continuity of storyline also contributed to a sense of realism as characters became ill, got married, had children or lost loved ones.We began to see subtle changes in costume design; the bright colors began to fade and even the cape began to recede in the background and in many instances were never brought back. Unlike actors, comic book characters are ageless; they only grow old when it suits the writer. If a costume change comes about, it is usually to fulfill a plot line or as a means of adding new life to a series. Outside of the iconic images of certain comic book legends, heroes and villains are allowed to change their clothing every once in a while. Maybe an update was needed because some of his or hers costume or hairstyle looked out of place, or do not reflect, today’s styles or trends. Many characters have not only changed costumes but even races; they are unrecognizable when faced with their original design.Comic’s constant change and growth will always be there with us. I applaud the decision to update the comic books so stagnation does not serve the industry by any means. The comic books in the twenty-first century remind me why I continue to read them. I now view comics from my computer and even my smart phone; which is far removed from my days of reading the latest issues fresh off a comic rack. I continue to be enthralled by the material in my 50s as I did in my teens. I admit that the most consistent element in the medium has been the amazing imagination of comic creators and their ability to draw you into their world.
