COMICS STUDIES / POPULAR CULTURE / MEDIA STUDIES
Superheroes such as Superman and Spider-Man have spread
all over the world. As this edited volume shows, many national
cultures have created or reimagined the idea of the superhe-
ro, while the realm of superheroes now contains many icons
whose histories borrow from local folklore and legends. Con-
sequently, the superhero needs reconsideration, to be regard-
ed as part of both local and global culture as well as examined for
the rich meanings that such broad origins and re-workings create.
This collection stands out as the first concentrated attempt to think
through the meanings and significance of the superhero, not only
as a product of culture in the United States, but as a series of lo-
cal, transnational, and global exchanges in popular media. Through
analysis of mainly film, television, and computer screens, contribu-
tors offer three challenges to the idea of the “American” superhero:
transnational reimagining of superhero culture, emerging local su-
perheroes, and the use of local superheroes to undermine dominant
political ideologies. The essays explore the shifting transnational
meanings of Doctor Who, Thor, and the Phantom, as these charac-
ters are reimagined in world culture. Other chapters chart the rise of
local superheroes from India, the Middle East, Thailand, and South
Korea. These explorations demonstrate how far superheroes have
traveled to inspire audiences worldwide.
