Many popular comic book superheroes have white eyes behind their masks. It's a classic costume design choice that still exists today, but when and why did it first start? Why do artists design superheroes with white eyes? We're finishing our superhero design series by answering this very question, and it has its roots all the way back in ancient Greece!

Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores the incredible stories, fascinating ideas, and mind-blowing theories regarding comic books and the rich history and culture that surrounds them!
