Hey Kids, Comics! #279 - No Fly Zone or: (Hard-Selling Heroes)

Comic books have been around for over 100 years.

Super-hero comics have been a part of that mix for at least three-quarters of their history.

During that time thousands of characters have graced the pages of said comics.  Among those numbers are many unassalable icons.  Despite any flaws they are considered paragons or figureheads.  Then there are those characters that, when introduced, my have been acceptable, but would be impossible to pitch to a publisher today.  Characters and plots alike, actually.

Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston seek to explore a handful of these and open the door (or floodgate) to thinking about so very many more.
