Comic Book History
Comic books have been around for almost 100 years.
The two companies that most folks know are DC and Marvel.
One company has characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The other has Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.
These are only a handful of characters from each company. Their list of heroes and villains runs deep.
Most characters are from New York, California, or outer space. Some characters come from fictional places like Gotham or Metropolis.
Marvel Comics will usually use real locations in their comics, especially when it comes to their characters.
