Comic books have changed a lot when it comes to race and how different cultures are shown. Let’s break it down simply:
Golden Age (1930s-1940s): Back then, most superheroes were white. There were only a few heroes from other races, and they often represented stereotypes.
Silver Age (1950s-1970s): This time brought new characters, like Black Panther and John Stewart, who is Green Lantern. These characters helped show the changes happening during the civil rights movement.
Modern Era (1980s-Present): Today, stories are more thoughtful. Comics now tackle racial issues directly. For example, "Spider-Man" includes storylines about racism, and some arcs focus on the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
This journey shows how much progress has been made, but there's still more work to do!
