Superheroes! by Roz Kaveney
Discusses the slow accretion of comics universes from the thirties onwards, the debate within the conventions of the superhero comic about whether superheroes are a good thing and the discussion within the comics fan community of the extent to which superhero comics are disfigured by misogyny and sexism.
"Roz Kaveney writes about the superhero myths with intelligence and love, from the inside, without the lofty alienation that says these texts are interesting but too dumb to know itThis book should be on the shelf of every comics fan, and proves that everyone should be a comics fan. - Paul Cornell (comics writer and scriptwriter for Doctor Who)"
