with sexuality and race through the figure of the superhero. It places superheroes
in their socio-historical context, particularly those published by the 'Big Two' publishers
in the industry: Marvel and DC. The superheroes are: Superman, Captain America, Iron
Man, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Wiccan, Hulkling, Batwoman, Luke Cage, Falcon, Storm
and Ms Marvel. Focusing on superheroes' first appearance in World War II up to their
current iterations, author Esther De Dauw looks at how superheroes have changed and
adapted to either match or challenge prevailing ideas about gender, including views
on masculinity and femininity in the US military, attitudes towards American national
identity, how gender intersects with sexuality for gay superheroes and how the lack
of representation of minority communities impacts the superhero of color. What do
superheroes say about and to us? Considering how gender, race and sexuality are often
inextricably enmeshed in representation politics, this book offers an analysis that
examines how all these different identities intersect and how that intersection itself
produces ideas about gender. What is it that superheroes teach us about what it means
to be a man or a woman when we're white or gay or Black? Following this analysis,
it offers strategies and solutions to the question of representation within both the
comic book industry and comic book scholarship. This book will be of interest to anyone
interested in superheroes, including comic book scholars, gender studies' scholars,
Critical Race scholars and scholars in the field of American Studies"
