    Fantasy-themed super heroes continued to populate comics through the 1950s and regained popularity in the
    1960s with such characters as Steve Ditko's Doctor Strange published by Marvel comics and Jack Kirby's Thor
    both appearing in two of Marvel's fantasy-themed anthologies – Strange Tales and Journey into Mystery.

    In the 1970s, Conan the Barbarian, created by Robert E. Howard, became one of the most popular publications
    of Marvel Comics. After some changes of publishers, it continued to be published in the 2010s.

    In the 1990s, The Sandman, created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg took comics on a more
    literary path.
