I posted for years about Fredric Wertham' Seduction of the Innocent - a Jeremiad against comic books of the day.
Wertham meant well. He wanted to help kids and had a 'extremism in defense of children is no vice' view.
Just thinking today about Wertham and Australia's social media ban for minors.

100 years ago, the United States had Prohibition.
One effect was wholesale lawbreaking by otherwise law-abiding people and less respect for law enforcement and the legal system.
Good luck, Australia.

The Kecksburg Incident
Thousands saw a brilliant fireball, and heard a sonic boom - but what, if anything, landed in Kecksburg, PA?
Some say an acorn shaped mass the size of a small car. The Air Force says nothing crashed, while NASA said it was a Soviet satellite.

Young Samson and Goliath (1967) is a great example of the literal wish fulfilment of transforming into a figure of power.
While He-Man may be the most celebrated example now and Captain Marvel historically (Shazam!), young Samson has transforming the pet with the hero!

Yes, Gotham in DC comics is not NYC, but it was clearly meant to be a version of it.

Which superohero is Most NYC?
If you go to NYC, it is clear its Spiderman. There is a wall of merch in Macy's, an impersonator in Times Square, etc.
The Thing is utterly absent. Cosplay is harder, but I saw an Optimus Prime, so no harder than that; its the lack of cultural currency.

The character appeared in the premiere episode of the All-New Super Friends Hour in September 1977, in the segment "The Whirlpool", voiced by Buster Jones. The show was trying to be more diverse, and created several new characters to do so.
