Guest DrTom Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I passed on the second hour of Raw (I know, I missed SO much...) to watch a two-hour show on the History Channel about comic books. In addition to being hosted by the yummy Peta Wilson, the show was pretty informative about the history of the industry, its peaks and valleys, and the major creative forces. I'm sure they had to gloss over a lot to cram 60+ years into two hours, but for "casual" comic fans like me, it was an interesting show. Anyone else catch it?

Guest MrRant Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I watched it today and thought it was pretty informative. They seemed to focus on how comics reflected America at various time. I especially like the WWII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I believe there's two of them, one on the history of comics and the second on the history of comic superheroes. Both have been quite entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I believe the one they are talking about is the Superhero one, which is the one I saw. Was this History of comics an earlier special? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Nevermind, it's the same one. I caught the last hour of it last time it was on and the first hour of it this time, hence I thought it was two different specials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted July 8, 2003 It was a good special. I wish they could spend more time on comics, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Is it going to air again? I meant to do several things to remember it, but I just forgot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted July 9, 2003 They've shown it several times in the past week, I wouldn't be surprised if they showed it again. Just check out their website for their TV schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
