Graphic Design course "Info Graphics Design" final project. A poster displaying a historical timeline of American comic books, starting from "Yellow Kid" (1895). The main comic book heroes are categorized as Super Heroes with power, Everyday Heroes, and Dark Heroes.
These categories are contrasted with historical real-life heroes such as Odysseus as the Super hero for his power as the king of Ithaca and his great epic journey written by the Greek poet, Homer.
Everyday hero was compared with Rosa Parks, for her bravery to overcome everyday challenges with humanly powers.
Dark Heroes with more introverted souls who carry out extraordinary activities such as Franz Kafka. Kafka was one of the must influential European writers who has been recognized as symbolizing modern man's alienation in an unintelligible, hostile, impersonal world.
