Greatest 12 Characters of the 1910's
Who is on this list, what this list is about and how they got on the list!
Synopsis
This is one of a set of lists I made showing a progression of the greatest characters in a heroic style throughout time. Focusing for the most part on one decade at a time. The heroes that we know and love today were inspired by heroes before them. Some are even real people who moved into folklore. Before comics there were pulp magazines. Before that there was dime novels and before that was the penny dreadfuls. There were many others as well like Gothic novels, story papers and yes even a real novel.
The List
This is a list of the greatest comic characters to first appear in literature between the years of 1910 and 1919. These would be characters who will go on to be the biggest influences in comics either directly or indirectly. In other words these will become great inspirations to future comic characters and stories. Right now they are in order of year.
New Stuff
This list is mainly made up of magazine adventure characters who would later be printed in novels. This is the decade of Edgar Rice Burroughs because so many of his greatest creations were produced in this decade. Six of them made this list and some are still being printed in comics today.
