    1st printing.

    Written by Nancy Goldstein. Art by Jacjie Ormes.

    At a time of few opportunities for African American women, Jackie Ormes (1911-1985) blazed a trail as a popular cartoonist with the major black newspapers of the day. Her comic strips Torchy Brown and Patty-Jo 'n' Ginger provide an invaluable glimpse into American culture and history, with topics that include racial segregation, U.S. foreign policy, educational equality, and other pressing issues of the times-and of today's world as well.

    This biography, recognized as a "Best Book" by the Village Voice and with "Best Book" citations in three Booklist categories, features a large sampling of Ormes's cartoons and comic strips.

    Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 240 pages, full color.

    Cover price $24.95.

    Superman The High-Flying History of America's Most Enduring Hero SC (2013) 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Larry Tye. Legions of fans from Boston to Buenos Aires can recite the story of the child born Kal-El, scion of the doomed planet Krypton, who was rocketed to Earth as an infant, raised by humble Kansas farmers, and rechristened Clark Kent. Known to law-abiders and evildoers alike as Superman, he was destined to become the invincible champion of all that is good and just. Tye takes us back to Superman's birth at the hands of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, his young, nerdy creators. He introduces readers to the cast of characters who spun and sketched the Last Son of Krypton's adventures and played him on the little screen and the big one. Superman's tale is not just the tale of an American hero but a lens through which to see our best selves. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 432 pages, Text (with 16 pages of B&W and full color photos). Cover price $17.00.

    This item is not in stock at MyComicShop. If you use the "Add to want list" tab to add this issue to your want list, we will email you when it becomes available.

    1st printing. By Ian Gordon. After debuting in 1938, Superman soon became an American icon. But why has he maintained his iconic status for nearly 80 years? Superman: Persistence of an American Icon examines the many iterations of the character in comic books, comic strips, radio series, movie serials, feature films, television shows, animation, toys, and collectibles over the past eight decades. Demonstrating how Superman's iconic popularity cannot be attributed to any single creator or text, comics expert Ian Gordon embarks on a deeper consideration of cultural mythmaking as a collective and dynamic process. He also outlines the often contentious relationships between the various parties who have contributed to the Superman mythos. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 200 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations). Cover price $27.95.
