Comic books grew out of comic strips in newspapers. One of the most successful early comic characters in America was Mickey Dugan, better known as the Yellow Kid. He wore a yellow coat that was too big for him. He was a character in a comic strip which provided opinions on the problems of cities. The Yellow Kid first appeared in eighteen ninety-five. The character became so popular that it was also used to sell products and to create plays. Adventure stories in comic books were very popular during the nineteen thirties - the time known as the Golden Age of Comics. Famous characters created during that time include the science fiction hero (英雄)Flash Gordon and the detective Dick Tracy. The nineteen thirties also gave us a superhero who came to Earth from another planet. Superman was a newspaper reporter for the Daily Planet in the big city when he lived on the earth. Superman became a hero of comic fans as he used his ability to fly to fight for truth and justice (正义). Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were seventeen when they created Superman in nineteen thirty-three. They sold the rights (版权) of the character to the DC Comics Company for one hundred and thirty dollars. That might be a lot of money to them at the time. But it was nothing compared to all the money made since then from Superman comics, radio and TV shows, movies and toys. Finally, in nineteen seventy-five, they wanted to get more for their creation. DC Comics agreed to pay each of them twenty thousand dollars a year for life. And it agreed to put their names as the creators of Superman in all future printed materials and films.Choose the best answers.
