The Colors of Good vs. Evil: Comic Book Color Palettes [infographic]
Since the first comic was printed in 1933, many colorful stories have been told... and don't let the name distract you, not all of them are funny. Comics have had moving, adventurous, dark & serious stories that have entertained young and old for almost a century. The comic industry might be changing, but business is still huge... Comic-Con 2010 was attended by 130,00 people! And the surge of comics-to-blockbuster movie trend thats been happening the past decade is making sure the world of comics continues to be a big part of our modern pop culture.

Paying homage to the colorful world of comic books, superheroes and villains... we wanted to take a closer look at the colors in comics and see if they too can tell a story...
Who Is Your Favorite Colorful Comic Book Character?
Good, bad... primary, secondary... Who's your favorite character and what colors are they? Do their colors stay true to some of the "rules" above?
As a kid, the Punisher was always my favorite character, although he's not a very colorful guy. :)

In addition: The X-men were originally BLACK and yellow. Dark blue highlighting on the black areas eventually took over before they went to individualized costumes.
The Invisible Woman (originally Invisible GIRL), like the rest of the Fantastic Four, originally wore blue and BLACK. It changed to Blue and White in 1983, then back to Blue and Black in 1996.
I feel old and nerdy.

- Batman never changed to all black in the comic books. That was only for the movie. In fact, to this day he's still dark blue and gray.
- Wonder Woman changed to her white/silver look in 1970, not 1960.
Also, I'd love to see an analysis of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who existed in black and white comics first, but were green with red bandannas when they were colored. However, when they were turned into a cartoon show and toys and the movies, they were each designated their own bandanna colors (Blue, Red, Orange/Yellow, and Purple).
