Brash, bold, and sometimes brutal, superheroes might seem
to epitomize modern pop-culture at its most melodramatic
and mindless. But according to Ben Saunders, the appeal of
the superhero is fundamentally metaphysical
-
even spiritual
-
in nature. In chapter-length analyses of the early comic
book adventures of Superman. Wonder Woman. Spider-Man,
and Iron Man. Saunders explores complex philosophical and
theological issues, including: the problem of evil: the will-to-
power; the tension between intimacy and vulnerability: and
the challenge of love in the face of mortality. Passionately
written, this insightful and exhilarating book should delight
all readers who believe in the redemptive capacity of the
imagination, regardless of whether they consider themseives
comic book fans.
