Behind the scenesEdit

• The word 'hubris', from the Ancient Greek (ὕβρις), refers to an individual's pride in their own abilities. In the Greek mythology, the hubris indicated a "sin" of pride in people who arrived at comparing themselves to gods.
• Historically, U.S comics had been used as a form of propaganda during World War 2 and later as "red scare" during the Cold War. Famous comic book companies like Atlas/Marvel and DC comics had produced ones with anti-communist messages up until the 1980s.
