Since you didn't say current comic books I'll mention three groups. The commercial ones all came out before I was born. You can get examples of all three in reprints, but while the two commercial ones are usually reprinted by DC which bought them, there may be some misunderstandings. Fawcett published the Original Captain Marvel. It also published other titles such as Whiz and other characters like Ibis the invincible. It began as a joke book called Captain Billy's Whiz Bang, which is mentioned in The Music Man and ended in a lawsuit DC won. Shazam! of course is a continuation of it by DC. Great artists like C. C. Beck, Kurt Schaefenberger (sp?) and Mac Raboy worked on it.

E. C. which became Mad Magazine, entered its glory days in the fifties, when superheroes were controversial. It was run then by Bill Gaines, the son of M. C. Gaines the capitalist credited with developing the idea of comic books. He was assisted as an editor mainly by Harvy Kurtzman in those days. Their horror stories featured among others Graham Ingles, science fiction featured Wally Wood, Al Williamson and Roy Krenkel, and they had great War stories. Read any E. C. Comics you can get.

Finally, I'm old enough to remember the undergrounds: Zap from the Print Mint, Last Gasp from Last Gasp Ecofunnies. Gilbert Shelton's the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers was about a trio of Marijuana using bikers. It was hilarious. R. Crumb did a lot of sex and satire. Trashman of the Sixth international was heavily influenced by Kirby and biker magazines. Spain Rodriguez, who did it, was and apparently still is a committed socialist you are unlikely ever to see in mainstream comics because he doesn't like capitalism. The Checkered Demon by S. Clay Wilson was gross. It was also great.

Incidentally, I've just discovered that Spain is working for Salon. While that may not be "politically correct" any appearance is welcome news. After 40 years, his work has become subtler his sense of design, composition and the exact right panel to tell the story is as strong as ever. A few people may have a problem with that his work is not photorealistic, but he tells a story better than most of the guys in the industry.

Look for them wherever you can.

Invincible by Robert Kirkman & Cory Walker is one of the best superhero comics out there by Image comics. Next, even though it's still published through DC (through the Vertigo/DC line) I'm really sad to see Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan come to an end (just 3 more issues left). Preacher (Vertigo/DC) by Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon was also a really good read and was funny as hell. Another comic that was recommended to me by a friend was Teenagers from Mars (Gigantic) by Rick Spears and Rob G. Also Grimm Fairy Tales (Zenescope) by Ralph Tedesco & Joe Tyler is really entertaining. Surprisingly the Buffy The Vampire Slayer run thus far (Dark Horse) has been a pleasent surprise.

Answer 4

Try The Walking Dead & Invincible by Image comics. Powers(DC) and Nexus(rudedude productions) also Noble Causes. Youre a little late but you can pick up the trade paperbacks for Strangers in Paradise. Enjoy.

Answer 5

I have always liked Batman he was really as sappy as some of the other DC heroes were... He also had a lot of real qualities that could make him a Hero easily in the real world... He was Skilled, smart, and strong besides wealthy. He had Morals... he believed in the law and justice even though he saw that sometimes the Law couldn't do things. Sure he bent the rules but he didn't go over the edge so many vigilantes did in comics... taking life. For Marvel it had to be Captain America... He may have seemed like a stereotype at times but He had many of the same qualities that Batman Had... Morals, Skills, intelligence, Strong and avoided taking life. Though as a Soldier you know that he had to have done so at one time. He lived his values and tried to give back to his country and community whenever possible. Both heroes had a realism about them... like you could see them existing in our world. They were symbols and though you may not of agreed with them or their methods you had to respect them for What they did and why. I have been always drawn to characters who favor intelligence and skill over fighting. Many heroes just come in fists swinging and don't let up they don't try to think through a situation... just come in fighting. (one reason I liked Batman and Nightwing over Superman or Captain America and Doctor Strange over individuals like the Hulk or Wolverine or the Punisher.) They are all great heroes... but those with Intelligence and skill always get my votes...
