The fantasy genre's beginnings in 1930s comic books, its rise in the 1940s until its decline during the popular blacklash against the medium in the 1950s.
With Cold War America finding its self-identity challenged, the superhero genre is reinvented with more complex characters and storytelling artistry.
The superhero genre evolves further to become a respected part of global mainstream culture in various media.
