Comic book artists breathe life into new creations each and every year. Some of these new characters might start as a doodle on a napkin, or as a well-thought out addition to a long-standing comic book. It’s such a momentous occasion either way, but why do we stop there? Why do we forget their entry into this world without even so much as a nod of celebration? Well, this infographic looks to change all that by giving us an in-depth view of every major superhero “birth” since Superman first graced the pages of Action Comics back in 1938.
This extensive infographic shows the month and date that each superhero character hit the shelves of stores. It covers characters from Marvel, DC, Image, and even many other big name comic book mainstays. Unfortunately, Jughead didn’t make the list. His exploits as Captain Hero STILL weren’t enough to get him considered as a real superhero. (Sorry, Jughead. You tried.)
Now, you can finally celebrate the day of your favorite superhero’s birthday! You can honor their glorious day by getting some cool superhero swag for yourself, or sending some to your favorite superhero on their birthday. Just don’t ask us how to send a gift to Bruce Wayne, since we’re still trying to figure out exactly where Gotham City and Wayne Manor are located.
