PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA DE LA LIBERTAD CREATIVA Y EL RECONOCIMIENTO ARTÍSTICO EN LA INDUSTRIA DEL COMIC BOOK ESTADOUNIDENSE (1935-1986)

Abstract

Cultural industries are nonconventional business which need to offer special incentives to their workers – creative freedom and recognition among them. Nonetheless, in its first decades of life the comic book industry used a rigid system of production and didn't give any recognition to most of its employees; it needed nearly thirty years to start to change to another production system. This text wants to know why that first system started to change, and what circumstances helped this change. In order to do it, we analyze the production system, the sales and the perspective of the creative staff.
