Disability And The Superhero by Amber E George
This book analyzes how superheroes with disabilities are depicted across comics, film, and television, arguing that these representations both challenge and reinforce cultural assumptions about ability, agency, and identity; it traces historical and contemporary examples to show how narratives, character design, and fan practices shape public understandings of disability, highlights tensions between empowerment and problematic tropes, and advocates for more nuanced, intersectional, and accessible portrayals and creative practices.
