Each superhero is given an entry that talks about the media (TV, comics, graphic novel, etc) as well as a full-color image. The background of the hero is given, as well as their entire team if they work with someone else. Supernatural powers are explored along with any moral code or any weaknesses. A timeline of appearances is given, and if the hero was killed off, an explanation of their demise. Superheros from Superman to The Powerpuff Girls are explored.
Gina Misirouglu, also known as The Taskmistress, has authored or edited more than three dozen books in the genres of popular culture, biography, American history, folklore and women's studies.
Graphic novels are becoming more and more popular with the advent of the entire anime genre. Superheroes are a constant in every time period; only the media used to tell their stories changes. Humans need to believe that there is a balance in the world between good and evil, and that there are those who stand ready to right that balance when it is askew. This book is recommended for readers who follow these heroes and anyone interested in learning more about them.
