Commentary:  The X-Men comic book series emerged during the 1963, a time era where comic books focused more on the political issues of the real world. During this time in the United States, African Americas were struggling to fight against anti-black laws and bring equality for everyone. So in order to reflect all that social unrest, marvel created the x-men comics where a group of "mutants" paralleled the struggle of African Americans and their fight to become members of society. Also around this time, comic books in general, evolved to integrate mature themes like drug abuse, alcoholism, and poverty among many others. Thus, after looking at the seriousness of this comic books, I decided to create my own comic book that would reflect a serious political issue that is still present today.

Commentary: This is a cover from Captain America's Golden Age comics. After looking at many over books from this time period, I noticed that they all followed a convention: use of simple images and story lines to mainly entertain and portray nationalism. So, for my RIP project, I took this convention and tried to create a simple comic book.

Commentary: This is a comic book cover from the Silver Age, a time period when most comics walked away from conveying nationalism and instead incorporate humor. So by analyzing some comic books and reading about the history of comic books during the Silver Age, I decided to incorporate this convention in my project to create humor, but at the same time talk about the seriousness of sexism and gender inequality.
