PBS three part documentary about superhero comics and culture was on Tuesday night and for a limited (don't know how long) time it's available online.

Adding my endorsement as well. I watched this the other night and it is a nice look at the history of the comics industry. Don't expect any big revelations but there is a nice amount of historical trivia and interviews with some very famous names in the field.
As long as somebody keeps making up stories for it, the City isn't gone.

Watching it now but the makers of 12 days as a slave must of paid good money for the ad space. It's like watching television.
Completed it. It's interesting stuff of how the modern super heroes all came about.

going to watch it later when I can borrow a high speed connection. I wonder if it's as good as History's "Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked" from a few years ago.
