1930's

I learned that comics first came about during the 1930's. That's intresting because the depression also happened during that area, they may be unconnected but it leads me to ask, were people looking for a hero in that time?
Another fact I found interesting was that the first color movies came out during the 1920's. After watching the clip of Wizard of Oz, I was amazed at how far technology has come since then and how much of a impact it has on our lives.
