Fantastic Adventures In The Comics

Some of the very first comic books I was exposed to when I was young were the science fiction and fantasy titles from DC Comics. 

I read all about the adventures of Adam Strange, Space Cabby, Atomic Knights and other space faring heroes.

I especially loved DC comics science fiction anthology series where all sorts of weird things happened. Naturally I started picking up Marvel Comics, Charlton Comics and other publishers science fiction and fantasy regular and anthology series.

The heyday for such publications started in the 1940s and really blossomed in the 1970s and 1980s. Such titles are still around but not in the numbers they once enjoyed.

However many of the elements from such series crop up in current superhero comics and other genres.  Science fiction and fantasy play an important part in today's comic book publications.
