Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky's "Justice League of America" is the greatest comic book series of the Silver Age. Some of my all-time favorite stories.

I was always more of a Broome guy, but Fox did some outstanding work: Adam Strange; "Man, thy Name is Brother from the JLA; The early Specter in the late 1960s with Murphy Anderson; and some of his Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space stories, like The Man Who Lived Forever.

Fox was close to Shelly Mayer; but possibly not as close to Julius Schwartz. I wonder if Fox had been a practicing lawyer, he would have been allowed to join one of the services' JAG programs? It would strike me that he would have been a natural Civil Affairs Officer, as well . . . .

Fox and his wife were, respectively, wealthy Irish and Italian Catholics, at a time when that was not as common.

Fox could not have been a Mets fan which was not formed until the 1960s he most likely was either a Giants fan or a Dodgers fan

I’ll keep on saying it, Shang chi’s original run I’ll never understand the coloring of old Shang. He was obviously done as the bad old days Asian “ yellow”, yet at the same time the other Asians in the same comic in the same panels are colored much more realistically! And in fact in the new Shang chi comics you’ll notice he has a much more human hue.

I like to compare him the Stuff the Chinatown kid. Who while Chinese, had no accent and was drawn very well. The real question is why one is a stereotype and the other is perfectly fine. Same comic book company!

Born in 2000 the reruns of this show was my childhood I’ve seen this how every episode so many times bro I love it ❤️❤️

Great focus on Wing! As mentioned above, I've published on the character Wing, including other prominent Asian American superheroes. Feel free to search "Wing Finally Takes Flight" to see the in-depth piece written and interviewed by Devin Whitlock.

This may sound Bad for a few people, but I like Lois to be both capable and a Damsel in Distress. She has help Superman here and there. But it's justified why she gets kidnapped that often, and that's one of the few things that I like about her

28:27 best thing I've seen in a long time.

You keep referring to the time after Crisis as Bronze Age . That is incorrect Bronze Age is the decade of the 70’s or 1970 to the Crisis depending on who you ask. The Modern Age is everything after the Crisis . Some people also retro fit the Copper Age from the Crisis to 1991.

Thanks for such a great video! Wing is an underrated character. Dr. Mark Martell wrote a great article for the Journal of Comics and Culture a couple years ago about how Wing is the first Asian American superhero in American comics. It’s a great read!

Both DC and marvel never really had any shame in ripping things off... But they usually rip off each other.

A complex and original concept, foreshadowing a lot of Dr. Strange. Well done, Jerry and Joe. Interestingly, Joe's cousin Frank Shuster, of the comedy duo of Wayne and Shuster -- who racked up more appearences on Ed Sullivan than any other act -- named his daughter Rose. Rosie Shuster married Lorne Michaels and was a writer on SNL from the first season, later involved with another Canadian comedy star, Dan Ackroyd.

Can you explain further something you said in the video? You say that during WWII, when many DC writers were off to war, Fox would write many stories under their names so readers would not notice they were not writing. But at the time, writers very rarely (if ever at all) got credit for their writing. So this makes no sense to me.

Thanks from Canada! Here, the Joe Shuster Awards are the Canadian equivalent of America's Eisners and Joe Shuster was, fittingly enough, the first inductee into the Joe Shuster Canadian Comic Book Creator Hall of Fame. Toronto street Joe Shuster Way is another tribute and Superman featured on Canadian government stamps in 1995 and 2013. It is one of my personal regrets that Shuster did not return home to work in the Golden Age of Canadian Comic Books during the war. A question for you, CR, one of my long held beliefs is that the Fortress of Solitude is located somewhere in Canada -- can you tell us if the Fortress appeared before Siegel/Shuster had left the title?

Late 19th century/early 20th century Asians were usually depicted as villains. Fu Manchu and the Yellow Peril and all that. Charlie Chan was specifically created to offset that, a smart Chinese detective playing the hero or protagonist. Even Wing is obviously a good guy, in spite of his otherwise stereotypical depictio.

I do love the thought of a 'secret Da Vinci diary' where he applies his observational skills to things he's found that DEFY conventions logic and science, stuffing them all into a tome missing and forming the links between his other journals; like, he knew he couldnt publish this shit to the public when he was espousing science on the other hand, and stashes it away, working on it between all his other busy hours

DC and Marvel need more Asian, Heroes,civilians and Villains too.

The comic book Charlie Chan may have been a ridiculous stereotype but if you ignore Charlie's accent the movies were quite good.

ComicsGate won’t like this one, but it’s not like their opinions are worth much.

"And Jewish characters were depicted as... well, White Anglo-Saxon Protestants "

Wing was Kato to the Crimson Avenger's Green Hornet. The character was originally a knock off. Besides Wing, the original Vigilante's sidekick was an Asian, Hot Stuff. The coolest, hipster sidekick ever.

charlie chan bumbling??? Efficient and never incorrect, you mean.

When are sidekicks going to make a comeback?!

Actually never knew he was am Asian-American until a while ago when researching for my project. Whenever I saw him in modern comics, it was often a flashback and in a mask. It wasn't until a retrospective that cited the Crimson Avenger was a knockoff of the Green Hornet that I knew.

They apparently had a "tri-annual (as in they trade every three years)" trade with Vault 32, NOT an annual trade...

Bill Finger is the true creator of Batman

The episode order is now correct on disney+

Thank you for doing this I have just found and love this. I'm glad you are tackling DC I find a lot of good channels for marvel but yours is the best dc history I've seen. Again thank you

A certain demographic won’t like this video. But this video is amazing

harmonica music? isn't that a slide guitar? or am i mishearing that so much?

It's true, X-Men and Spider-Man the animated series were far more linear in their storytelling in order to show character progression. Sure, animation may faulter on occasion since different studios worked on them. But every aspect of the production helped with the narrative and message.

We desperately needed this video for new x-men fans.

Yet another banger video, keep at it!

Did you know, despite the common misconception, Gardner Fox has no relation to Michael J. Fox?

I very much enjoyed this. As a modern fan, I know most of the heroes of this era only as often seen images, not detailed characters. Thank you for providing a flavor and history for them. Please continue, especially with the lesser known adventurers who pre-date costume-wearing heroes.
