连环漫画在美国报纸和杂志上出版已经超过100年了。连环漫画由一幅幅相互关联的图框组成，表达幽默或讲述一则故事，文字出现在对话框或标题中。

传统上，许多美国报纸都会在其周日版中加入一个特别的彩色版块，即“趣味报纸”展示受欢迎的连环漫画。

在1920年代，连环漫画开始不仅表达幽默，同时也讲述冒险故事。到了1930年代，由连环漫画汇成的第一批漫画书成为美国流行文化的一部分。

许多人认为1930年代末到1950年代是美国漫画的黄金时代 – 在这一时期，出版了一批现代漫画书，并且创造出超级英雄的原型，其中包括许多家喻户晓的名字，如超人、蝙蝠侠、马维尔船长、美国队长和神奇女侠。

侦探漫画（ Detective Comics），即今天的DC漫画（ DC Comics）和快捷漫画（ Timely Comics）的前身，以及今天的漫威漫画（ Marvel Comics）的前身，在1940年代以其描绘在第二次世界大战中与轴心国作战的超级英雄情节而广受欢迎，战后，超级英雄漫画影响力下降，漫画书分化出新的题材。但今天，出自黄金时代的许多超级英雄仍然为人们所津津乐道。

你最喜欢的黄金时代的超级英雄是哪一位？请于6月9日前向美国全国漫画家协会的漫画专家发帖提问。

#AmericanAnimation&Comics – The Golden Age of American Comic Books

Comic strips have been published with newspapers and magazines in America for over 100 years. A comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated panels used for humor or to tell a story, with text in balloons and captions. On Sundays, many American newspapers traditionally included a special color section knows as the “funny papers” for popular comic strips. In the 1920s, comic strips began to feature not only humor but also adventure stories, and in the 1930s the first comic books, which were a collection of comic strips, became part of American popular culture. Many consider the American comic books from the late 1930s to 1950s as the golden age – during this time modern comic books were published and the superhero archetype developed, including many well-known characters, Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, Captain America and Wonder Woman. Detective Comics, the predecessor of today’s DC Comics, and Timely Comics, the predecessor of today’s Marvel Comics enjoyed wide popularity in the 1940s for their superheroes that battled the Axis powers of World War II. After the War, the popularity of superhero comics waned and comic books diversified into new genres. Yet today, many of the superheroes from the golden age are well-remembered. Who is your favorite superhero from the golden age? Remember to please post your questions for cartoon experts from the National Cartoonists Society before June 9th.
