Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle
Examines the dawn of the comic book genre and its powerful legacy, as well as the evolution of the characters who leapt from the pages over the last 75 years and their ongoing worldwide cultural impact. It chronicles how these disposable diversions were subject to intense government scrutiny for their influence on American children and how they were created in large part by the children of immigrants whose fierce loyalty to a new homeland laid the foundation for a multi-billion-dollar industry that is an influential part of our national identity
The fantasy genre's beginnings in 1930s comic books, its rise in the 1940s until its decline during the popular blacklash against the medium in the 1950s.
With Cold War America finding its self-identity challenged, the superhero genre is reinvented with more complex characters and storytelling artistry.
The superhero genre evolves further to become a respected part of global mainstream culture in various media.
