American comic book Comic book originating in the USA

An American comic book is a thin periodical originating in the United States, typically 32 pages, containing comics content. While the form originated in 1933, American comic books first gained popularity after the 1938 publication of Action Comics, which included the debut of the superhero Superman. This was followed by a superhero boom that lasted until the end of World War II. After the war, while superheroes were marginalized, the comic book industry rapidly expanded and genres such as horror, crime, science fiction and romance became popular. The 1950s saw a gradual decline, due to a shift away from print media in the wake of television and the impact of the Comics Code Authority. The late 1950s and the 1960s saw a superhero revival and superheroes remained the dominant character archetype throughout the late 20th century into the 21st century.

History

Compared with its rival, The Daily Bugle , the staff and nature of the publication are far less revealed. Peter Parker has occasionally worked for the paper, where he met April Maye [1] and worked alongside her in several occasions. So has Eddie Brock, before he was fired when Spider-Man inadvertently exposed his poor reporting. The paper's editorship (including long-time Editor Barney Bushkin) is known for being largely more impartial concerning Spider-Man than the obsessively hateful publisher J. Jonah Jameson allows in the Bugle. A low point in the Globe's history came when it employed Rupert Dockery as Circulation Manager; [2] in due time, the dishonest Dockery set up schemes and attempted to kill the newspaper's owner, the often mysterious K.J. Clayton. [3]
