Does this make him the ultimate immigrant success story? Disillusioned with a crime-filled world, Bruce Wayne seeks guidance from a shaman and transforms himself into the flawlessly moral Batman. Through a series of close readings of DC and Marvel comics, Marco Arnaudo explores the influence of religion and myth on superhero stories as well as their relationship to the classical epic and baroque style. Superheroes embody the most positive and inclusive aspects of American culture. Arnaudo asserts that, amidst the exciting action, tender love stories, and tales of self-sacrifice, superheroes are role models for tolerance and moral decision making. Translated for the first time into English, The Myth of the Superhero looks beyond the cape, the mask, and the superpowers, presenting a serious study of the genre and its place in a broader cultural context."--Publisher description. 000712208 650_0 $$aComic books, strips, etc.$$xHistory and criticism. 000712208 650_0 $$aSuperheroes in literature. 000712208 650_0 $$aSuperheroes in art. 000712208 7001_ $$aRichards, Jamie. 000712208 85200 $$bgen$$hPN6710$$i.A85$$i2013 000712208 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:712208$$pGLOBAL_SET 000712208 980__ $$aBIB 000712208 980__ $$aBOOK
