This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of
comic-books, mobilising them as a means to understand better the
political context in which they are produced. Structured around key
political events in the US between 1938 and 1975, the author
combines analyses of visual and textual discourse, including
comic-book letters pages, to come to a more complete picture of the
relationship between comic-books as documents and the people who
read and created them. Exploring the ways in which ideas about the
US and its place in the world were represented in major superhero
comic-books during the tumultuous period of US history from the
Great Depression to the political trauma of Watergate and the end
of the Vietnam War, Superheroes and American Self-Image sheds fresh
light on the manner in which comic-books shape and are shaped by
contemporary politics. As such it will appeal to scholars of
cultural and media studies, history and popular culture.
