You can trace back the selfie, or the elevation of self, to such works as Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 novel, “Jane Eyre.” This is perhaps the best early example of a work elevating an average person, as opposed to an aristocrat or religious figure.

As it makes its way to Emerald City Comicon in Seattle (March 2-5, 2017), BOOM!

Pérez (Jim Henson’s Tale of Sand).
