Documentary Outline
- My idea is to look at how superheroes like Captain America came from being propaganda for a certain cause, to being big box office superstars and comic book favorites. I will also interview writers and publishers of these comics to see how they get their ideas for these heroes.
Contributors
- I will interview at least 4-5 writers and publishers of comics as well as owners and workers in comic book shops such as James Roberts and others. I will use group websites such as Meetup to interview these comic book readers and enthusiasts.
Locations
- The Convent Garden and Soho areas because of the numerous amount of comic stores and art shops there. The meetup that I want do these interviews will be in the Waterloo area.
The resources needed for this project:
