History Channel Comics show

Recommended Posts

Guest DrTom

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

It was a good special. I wish they could spend more time on comics, though.

Is it going to air again? I meant to do several things to remember it, but I just forgot.

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.
