CHANGING HEROES

@chemical-king

This blog is just for fun when I have some spare time. It will be devoted to showing how various superheroes have changed over the course of years. Information about the heroes will be minimal and basic. I will try to use original art only. I do not claim any copyright of the photos or characters. If any photos are posted that are copyrighted and the owner wishes them removed, please contact me and I will happily remove. My hope is to simply provide a visual history of characters, and perhaps introduce characters to people unfamiliar with them. Thanks to tumblr for the opportunity!
