Supergods by Grant Morrison
Our World in the Age of the Superhero
A reflective blend of cultural history, personal memoir and critical theory that traces the evolution of superhero comics from their origins to the present, arguing that costumed characters function as modern myths and expressions of collective psychology. It combines analysis of creators, historical eras and social forces with autobiographical insight to explore how these characters shape and reflect ideas of power, identity and transcendence. The book also considers the medium's artistic possibilities and its role in shaping myths for the contemporary age.
