It used to be that comics, rather than having one story spreading out over multiple issues, had multiple stories in one issue. They also used to cost a dime. In the '50s, a quarter would get you a gargantuan annual, the comic equivalent of
War and Peace. When the price of regular comics went to twelve cents, I, for one, was outraged. Who could afford such an investment?
Meanwhile, I guess if you have to grind out a whole bunch of stories month after month after month, you start to weary of all that super good guy stuff.
17 vintage comic book covers where Superman is a complete sociopath demonstrates some of where this weariness led.
