	Comic books keep seducing today's discerning fans
		Comics can provide "high interest-low level" reading: literature that is attractive to readers yet not too intimidating.
		The most potent attack on comics came from Fredric Wertham's 1954 "Seduction of the Innocent," in which comics were depicted as contributing to juvenile delinquency and inhibiting reading and language development.
		While this fl-and-white comic may not be as flashy as its contemporaries, its carefully drawn scenes and proportionate mix of action and character development make it at least the equal of any other comic in today's market.

	"Comics Journal" Interview with Bill Watterson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The trend nowadays in comics seems to be to zero in on a narrow, specific audience, like divorced parents, baby boomers, and so on.
		Comic strips are words and pictures, but there is little room for either any more.
		Until something is done to restore the size of comics, they will only continue to get more insipid, and have less pull on their audiences.

	Comics Talk Man of Steel
		So, considering the fact that Krypton's favorite son has had at least one monthly comic published on a regular basis for about the last sixty-three years, it might be called ludicrous to attempt to pinpoint the finest Superman work EVER.
		Well, leave it to me, because I know what it is. D.C. Comics' The Man of Steel reprints the six-issue mini-series in which writer/artist John Byrne redefined the super-powered Kryptonian for a new generation of comic-book readers.
		He seemed to be able to capture the strength and confidence of the character, while adding a certain fun, playful factor that Superman had not had since his inception.

		Since the average reader of comics in India is likely to be aged 10-16, much younger than his American counterpart, the content in the India-market comic books is selected to be a little more tame than that targeted at American readers, who range as high as 24 years old.
		After interning at DC Comics the summer before college, Devarajan made a number of trips to India where he saw a new generation come of age, a generation familiar with MTV and Channel V. He put together a business plan, got DC on board, then got Marvel Comics too.
		Comic experts aren't sure how well his vision of America will be received in the Muslim world.

	FANBOY PLANET.com .: rs-authority :.
		In comics, the story must go on, so when a title changes writer or artist, a new artistic interpretation is foisted upon the reader.
		If everyone out there creating comics wrote as well as Ellis, or Moore, or Talbot, or Winick; if everyone devoted as much work to their art as Hitch, or Gibbons, or Miller, then what we consider to be exceptional in the field of comics now would be the norm.

		Amy Nyberg wrote, "Comics are unique because they are a blend of words and p ictures in a way not done by any other medium." Joseph Witek indicated one "source of the peculiarity, if not uniqueness, of comics is the interpretation of words and pictures into a narrative form.
		Jeffrey Brown mentioned that comics allow the reader to proceed at h is or her own pace, and "unlike straight literature, subtle narrative techniques can enhance the story less obtrusively (i.e.
		The weaknesses mentioned include the domination of superheroes/adventure formula, the perceived associat ion of comics with children, and corporate and marketing limitations that gear comics toward children (although these are obviously not related directly to the medium itself).

		In a stronger body, his strength was obviously greater and he has defeated (or done well against) many very strength opponents in hand to hand combat, but it wasn't using pure strength, but a combination of strength, speed and durability.

		Marvel Comics publisher Stan Lee has often labeled comics the "modern mythology," and used his fables to teach that heroes are people too.
		Reinhold Reitberger and Wolfgang Fuchs, authors of "Comics: Anatomy of a Mass Medium," offer the viewpoint that comic book stories are often merely slug-fests which pit brain against brawn, where intellect is considered an inferior trait and might always makes right.
		They then counter that "a repeated show of primitive physical strength and superiority on the part of superheroes would be boring in the long run, and Superman therefore functions in many a story as super-sleuth...

	Jeff Williams - COMICS: A TOOL OF SUBVERSION? - JCJPC - Volume 2, Issue 6
		As the two comics that were the least subversive were published by companies that comprise a combined total of 71.1 percent of the market, it would seem to be safe to conclude that most comics are not subversive.
		Annual sales of comics have reached $700 million (with current predictions of one billion dollars for 1994), which is a 500 percent increase from 1980 (Jensen, 1993:33).
		Some 800 titles are published a year and though the comic book market has not regained the household penetration rate of 90 percent from the 1940s, comics can be found in 50 percent of today's households, with signs of a steady increase apparent (Bianchi, 1993:108).

	Why Do Online Comics? by Iain Hamp \| Comixpedia
		I wanted to get new people excited by the prospects of doing comics online, and I hoped to give people who are already in the trenches some reinforcement.
		I don't necessarily agree with that statement, or for that matter with the notion that that should be or is the focus and/or purpose of the Comixpedia.
		I don't want to go into specific details yet, so as to not spoil any element of surprise I may hold, but one of the primary goals I have with this project now is to challenge those things I see that just seem to be "assumed" by many in the industry now.

		Free Comic Book Day marks the first time all the major comics publishers have banded together for a common promotional goal, says Barry Lyga, spokesman for Maryland-based Diamond Comic Distributors, the nation's largest comic book distributor.
		Like jazz, comic books are a uniquely American art form, growing out of the comic strips that sprouted up in Sunday newspapers of the late 1800s.

	Wrecker (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wrecker's fortunes change for the better when looting a hotel room that - unknown to him - is currently occupied by Loki, the arch foe of the Thunder God Thor.
		At the precise moment that the Wrecker enters Loki is trying to contact his accomplice, the Norn Queen Karnilla, for an enchantment that will grant him the strength to defeat Thor.
		It is therefore conceivable that should the Wrecker choose to keep the power to himself, his strength would double and enable him to lift in the 80 ton range.

	The Difference Between Marvel Comics and DC Comics
		Marvel comics and DC comics are dominant for their own reasons, and each had their time as the number one comic book company in the whole comic book industry.
		One thing they have in common is that both realized that they had to appeal and meet the needs of the comic book fans in their niches to achieve number one status in the comic book industry.
		Marvel Comics issued the Fantastic Four, and the Incredible Hulk, and the people loved it, even though these characters were not like those of Dc comics.

	Strength level (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a measure of superhuman strength, the mounit of measure is the ton.
		A difficulty that frequently arises in episodic fiction, especially fiction that is long-running and written by multiple authors, is "power n." Over time, characters tend to be given greater and greater strength as each new crisis they face presents a challenge greater (and therefore more suspenseful and exc ones.
		Broad displays of artistic license have often led to debates among fans of particular comic book characters that have superhuman strength, such as the Hulk, Thor, the Thing etc., as to whirs are stronger, or exactly which level their strength is.

	SuperStrengthAndDamage < Guide < The Fudge Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It has been argued on Fudge List that comics don't use consistent measures anyway, but I think x10 every other level works pretty well as an approximation.
		The more strength supers have, the more likely you are to have a situation where their lifting capabilities are wildly divergent while their damage ratings remain comparable.
		From a realism perspective, this works; from a comic books perspective, your Champions example fits better - you do have characters who can lift tens of thousands times more mass than others, but are treated as being in the same ballpark for a slug match.

		Many websites list a "minimal level" for a quest, but this is a "recommended level to complete" guideline, not a "what is needed to unlock it" requirement.
		Once you hit level 30 you can go about unlocking the "Advanced" job classes, but this is the only case where there is a strict level requirement required to accept a quest.
		First of all, Cure II is not efficient until level 20 or so -- it costs three times as much as Cure, but will heal fewer than three times as many hitpoints, making it something that should only be cast in emergencies when the loss of efficiency is worth saving a party member's life.

	Superhero Encyclopedia: Maestro
		By using his intellect and strength, he created a city, Dystopia, that was shielded from the ambient radiation.
		This means he has a dynamic strength level that increases with respect to his rage, is extremely durable, can leap over many miles in a single leap, heals very quickly (which also retards his aging), and has an almost mystical homing ability.
		Moreover, the ambient radiation the Maestro was exposed to made his base strength level considerably greater than that of the Hulk's base strength level and hence he lifts well over 100 tons even before becoming enraged.

		Judging by the number of wannabes I see at the San Diego Comic-Con every year asking pros how they can break into the biz, a lot of folks are interested in this topic, so it's amazing it's taken this long for such a periodical to emerge.
		The strength of a magazine, even a quarterly one, is that the information is current.
		One is that reproducing two or three script pages from a 22-page comic provides only a partial picture; to really understand structure and pacing, one should look at an entire script, ideally from the outline stage through to the finished art.

		If for example, one set their Superhero campaign in the Marvel Comics universe then Thor ends up with a strength of only 60, a value a starting superhero character is expected to be able to equal.
		First is that they apply poorly across the scale of characters (A normal human at 89% of his load finds his movement reduced by 2/3rds while a super fast runner would barely notice the difference).

		Side note:The Hulk possesses the capacity for nearly limitless physical strength.In times of stress the HUlk's adrenaline level esaclates,causing a corresponding escalation in strength.To date the Hulk has never apparently been provoked into demonstrating a maximum output of strength.Hence,its upper limit remains a mystery.
		It still needed massive strength to keep this pocket from collapsing, but he wasn't really lifting a mountain.
