Recenzii
This would make the perfect textbook for a class on the history of comics. It's great for comic fans who want to go beyond the pages of the latest DC or Marvel adventure to understand and appreciate how these stories evolved and what were their origins.
Accessible for any reader, and academically considered ... As a long-time comic book reader and lover of this medium, I appreciate the way Gavaler goes about this topic.
Scholar-author Chris Gavaler takes us through the history of superhero comics in a way that is accessible for any reader, and academically considered enough for any erudite. Gavaler traces the genre from the beginning, commenting on how comic books and graphic novels reflected the culture and events around them, including war and eugenics.
Gavaler provides a comprehensive, engaging account of the evolution of the superhero bolstered by a fine concluding section on the visual analysis of comics ... An interesting read for anyone who wants to understand how superhero comics have developed into what they are today.
A thoughtful, well researched academic work that is highly accessible.
