Romance at the Frontier of Change
Comic books, like any media, were prone to reflect the political and social climate of the time in which they were released. This probably allowed for better sales and increased readership as the stories narrated though the artful comic book panels were more relevant and relatable to their audience. From the Vietnam War to the Women's Liberation Movement, comic books did a fantastic job of keeping up with the times and interweaving the social climate into their stories.
