Probably Japanese comics and animated cartoon will be known well abroad. However, superman and Spider-Man are known in Japan.

None, really!!!
Although having spent almost 20 years in North america (from age 10 until 30), I was bnever in US comics, especially in the super-heroes, which I tend to regazrd as an inferior subculture of comics (definitely not into japanese mangas either, though... Indeed, being born in Belgium (land of Tintin and Smurfs), the "bande dessinnée" of my youith fomllowed me in Canada, and I never really lost sight of it.... of course it's become a lot more "adult" since the days of the Smurfs, There is however a certain kind of North amlerican comic I do follow, but it's rather more Canadian than US Paul Rabagliatti, Chester Brown, Seth, Guy Deslsles, Jimmy Beaulieu, Joe Matt (he's United Statian and a very twisted fellow)... To a lesser extent, authors like Damniel Clowes and Chris Ware's new releases are ones I watch for ----------------------- But when it comes to newspaper comics, I followed daily Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, Blondie and my absolute favourite Bloom County - hence my DandelionPatch prog folk CZ thread you've all seen in PA |

I get a kick out of seeing kids in their superhero outfits. My son ran around as Batman for a while with the plastic cape. (Garbage bag plastic). My oldest daughter stripped his Batman figure a couple of times.
  He was not impressed 
I went for Daffy........Stupor Duck
I was actually a Thor and Fantastic Four fan. Used to read the comics and watch the Marvel cartoons.
"Marine Boy, where are you?"
Did not put them up but I loved the Thunderbirds. Everything exploded whether it needed too or not. Who cares if you saw the puppet strings sometimes. "Thunderbirds are go" ( I have the series on DVD and ocassionally still watch the shows)

Anyway I voted for Batman, the original TV show of course. It introduced many a youngster to the world of irony, kitsch and Eartha Kitt

When I was a kid, the coolest was the Green Hornet and Kato. All the kids at school wanted to be Kato.

Bit of everything with animation as well. ( even early Manga I used to watch).
Being a boy I loved my superheros..............still do
 Here is a song from Guy Clarke concerning grown men and superheros. Country but beautifully written. Guy can't sing for sh*t but can he write. "Spread you arms and hold you breath and always trust ya cape"
