I have had an interest in comics books from a very young age. It just always seemed amazing how you can put yourself into a new universe with all these strange and amazing beings saving the day.
Marvel Comics was founded in 1939 by Martin Goodman, and one of the first superhero's created by Marvel Comics, although he was basically American propaganda against Nazi Germany, he still was someone that the public looked up to even if he was a fictional character, and especially at times when the world is at its worst, people just need hope.
The most famous writer of Marvel is Stan "The Man" Lee, for his great contribution to creating the most interesting characters from the marvel universe, he helped create some of the worlds favourite superheroes such as ; Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, The X-Men and the Hulk, He frequently cameos in the Marvel movies. And soon I will have the privilege of meeting him in person.
DC comics is the largest comic book company in the American Market. It was founded in 1934 by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. DC has introduced us to many superhero's we know today, such as Batman, Superman,Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman, Hawkman, and Green Arrow, along with such superhero teams as the Justice League, the Watchmen, and the Teen Titans, as well as antagonists such as the Joker, Lex Luthor and Catwoman.
In the end I found comics and graphic novels from both companies to use in my initial research so I can reference which superheroes I am showing in my development book.
I am using comic books and graphic novels for my main forms of research because I love how deep the stories go with regards to character development, the story arcs with each person included, and the artwork in the comic. With this in mind, I feel i'll be able to create a costume with a better representation of the character it's modelled from because I'll have a much greater understanding of their character.
I draw a lot of inspiration from the artwork and designs in the comics, and for this reason I tried to emulate the styles I came across in my research.
