digital comic museum

do you want to read comics online? do you want to read old comics online? if you answered yes to one of those questions i have a site for you.

http://digitalcomicmuseum.com

Its a site dedicated to golden age comics most that are public domain. what is golden age..that means the bygone age of the late 30's or 40's.  These comics were on the racks when superman and batman first came out and were competitors. i discovered this site and i was surprised i knew nothing of these heroes from the past, most of the companies went out of business and stopped making comics.

Some of the most famous DC comic heroes were from other companies that sold the characters to dc when they went belly up like-plastic man, blue beetle, phantom lady and captain marvel (of course DC had a hand in the big red cheese going away)

Go check it out, in addition to superhero comics they have romance, cowboy, science fiction, horror, funny animals and whatever else was made into a comic

Golden Age Public Domain Super Heroes

In the past year I have really been into public domain golden age super heroes. I frequent this site Public Domain Super Heroes Wiki a lot. Here is some Bruce Timm tweaked artwork that I have used to make the characters into public domain characters. If you don't know them you can research them on the aforementioned site. I hope to use some of them myself one day.

more of my version of public domain hero the black terror with some help from photoshop

Since the Nedor-Pines superheroes are in the public domain anyone can use the original golden age characters however they wish. I thought since the black terror had the word black in his name then naturally someone would have made him african american.

Just like black panther or black lightning or black vulcan(hee hee hee) to my knowledge no one has, anyway he has one of the coolest costumes ever and you can research his origins yourself and his use by other artist and companies
