Supergods

USD $18.00

For the millions of people who know and love the great pantheon of superheroes, here's a brilliant and wildly entertaining exploration of the phenomenon--the story of how our culture gave birth to these otherworldly heroes, how they've changed as we've changed, and how they've transformed us.
From the most acclaimed and oracular writer in the comics world, here is a mind-jolting look at one of the most ubiquitous, beloved, and misunderstood of American creations: our superheroes. Much more than a book about comics or pop ephemera, Supergods is a polymathic, intellectually exhilarating book about us: our culture, our history, our future, and the heroic power of the stories we tell.
