Golden City: Encyclopedia II - Batman - Homosexual interpretations

In 1954, psychologist Fredric Wertham's general assertion in his book Seduction of the Innocent was that readers would imitate crimes committed in comic books, and that these works would corrupt the morals of the youth. The most notorious charge in the book, however, was leveled at Batman, in a four-page polemic claiming that Batman and Robin were gay. "They live in sumptuous quarters, with beautiful flowers in large vases, and have a butler," Wertham wrote. "It is like a wish dream of two homosexuals living together." What was more, Wertham asserted, "the Batman type of s ...

Golden City: Encyclopedia II - Batman - Publication history

In early 1939, the success of Superman in Action Comics prompted editors at the comic book division of National Publications (later DC Comics, D.C. is short for Detective Comics, now a subsidiary of Time Warner) to request more superheroes for their titles. In response, Bob Kane created a character called "the Bat-Man". His collaborator Bill Finger offered such suggestions as giving the character a cowl instead of a simple domino mask, wearing a cape instead of wings, wearing gloves, and removing the red sections from the origi ...

Sheba is a 14 year old Jupiter Adept whose birthplace is unknown to her.

Golden City: Encyclopedia II - Watertown city New York - Additional information about the City of Watertown

Watertown claims that Rodman native Frank W. Woolworth conceived the idea of his mercantile chain in Watertown in 1878, although the first store was opened in Utica, New York in 1879. The claim is made because Woolworth, employed as a clerk in Moore's Store, set up a successful clearance display of low-priced items, which led to his idea of a store specializing in fixed-price cut-rate merchandise. Other Watertown notables include: John Avery, physician and Michigan politician. John Calhoun, publisher of the Chica ...

Golden City: Encyclopedia II - Subotica - Name

There have been almost two hundred different forms of the name Subotica in history. This is because the city has welcomed so many different peoples since the Middle Ages. They all wrote about it, naming it in their own languages, which, for the most part, did not fix their spelling until modern times. The earliest known written record of Subotica is Zabadka, which dates from 1391. This is a variant of the current Hungarian name for the city: Szabadka. However, in its present spelling, it appeared for the first time only ...

Golden City: Encyclopedia II - Islamic Golden Age - Commerce and urban life

From the very beginning, the foundation of Islamic civilization was urban and business oriented, and its growth in population and agriculture is mirrored through its global trade network. Muslim cities grew unregulated, resulting in narrow winding city streets and neighborhoods separated by different ethnic backgrounds and religious affiliations. These qualities proved efficient for transporting goods to and from major commercial centers while preserving the privacy valued by Islamic family life. Suburbs lay just outside the walled city, fro ...
