The reading and the lecture discuss the comics medium which includes newspaper comics strips and comic books. The author believes that younger students see eye to eye that the comics are the only American art form, and also he highlights its worldwide influence. The professor brings into question the claims made in the article, he considers that the medium comics was the unique art form up to one point but not in the whole, and he corrects some author’s points.
First, the author states that the first world comic strip masterpiece was Hogan’s Alley released in the 1890s which was accompanied by the first well-known cartoon character Yellow Kid, both were written and drawn by Americans Joseph Pulitzer and William H. The professor rebuts this argument by pointing out that in the 1790s there were other famous comics strips and comic characters from Britain and Switzerland, besides, Joseph P. was an immigrant from Hungarian, so it is wrong to say that that man was purely American.
Second, the author comes up with the idea that the first and most popular in the world comic book was the American “SUPERMAN” come out in 1938. However, the professor argues that 60 years before Superman, there was another popular comic so-called 10-10 with a great character as well as SUPERMAN, and also he says that Josh S. the creator of Superman was Canadian.
Third, the author contends that the American comic medium was a great influence on Japan and Europe. It is mentioned that after the World War two Japanese Mangas were inspired by the American comics. The professor, on the other hand, posits that American did not have any influence neither in Japan nor in Europe, Europeans were influenced by Asian people, and also, Dc comics’ –an American comic business- writers and painters were from Europe. Accordingly, American had its own great comics medium but the lecturer gives some clues to see that none of the author’s points are correct.
