Many people in America love comics (連環(huán)畫). Some of the most popular comics are about superheroes. These American superheroes are drawn to look like strong men or strong women. Wearing special clothes, they fight the bad and save the weak.

There are two main companies in the US that produce superhero comics. DC Comics designed superheroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in the late 1930s and 1940s. During this "Golden Age of Comics", millions of comics were sold every month. This lasted until 1945. After that time, superhero comics became less and less popular. In the 1950s, American comics entered their "Dark Age". Many comic companies could not make money and closed down.

In the early 1960s, the "Silver Age of Comics" began. Another company, Marvel Comics, started to become popular. It produced many characters which are known to people all over the world. These include the X-Men and Spider-Man. In these comics, the superheroes have the same problems as common people. Spider-Man, for example, is unable to save money and has problems with his friends and family.

Comics can give students an interest in reading. They may help young people develop their ideas in the mind. Nowadays, many American comics have been made into popular movies.
