I love your article and your research on this topic despite all the bad faith critics, trolls, alt-righters who do not care about the vast history of comics and comic art. Some people credit Superman as the first mass printed comic in history; when in actuality it was Hindrich Hoffmann's Der Struwwelpeter that should take this credit along with Tezuka Osamu whom was way ahead of Stan Lee. Not all comics have to have American values and American centurium. This is why Black Panther, Astro Boy, She-Ra, are now coming back with resonance to a new generation of young comic and cartoon watchers because diversity, good storytelling, and progress has to happen. https://www.reddit.com/r/Struwwelkinder/
