H-E-R-O comic books issue 1

1st printing.

By Liam Burke.

It is hard to imagine a time when superheroes have been more pervasive in our culture. Bringing together superhero scholars from a range of disciplines, alongside key industry figures such as Harley Quinn co-creator Paul Dini, The Superhero Symbol provides fresh perspectives on how characters like Captain America, Iron Man, and Wonder Woman have engaged with media, culture, and politics, to become the "everlasting" symbols to which a young Bruce Wayne once aspired.

Popular Culture and Philosophy: Book 13 - 1st printing. "Truth, Justice and the Socratic Way!" Edited by Tom Morris and Matt Morris. The comic book superheroes — Superman, Batman, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and many others — have proved to be a powerful and enduring thread in popular culture, a rich source of ideas for movie makers, novelists, and philosophers. Superheroes and Philosophy brings together 16 leading philosophers and some of the most creative people in the world of comics, from storywriters to editors to critics, to examine the deeper issues that resonate from the hyperbolic narratives and superhuman actions of this heroic world. The comic book narratives of superheroes wrestle with profound and disturbing issues in original ways: the definitions of good and evil, the limits of violence as an efficacious means, the perils of enforcing justice outside the law, the metaphysics of personal identity, and the definition of humanity. The book also features original artwork specially commissioned from some of the most popular of today's comic book artists. Softcover, 294 pages, Text only. Cover price $17.95.

1st printing. By Roz Kaveney. Modern myths, cheap trash, or the objects of fetishist desire? Most people know something about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman, even if what they know is heavily filtered through film and television versions, rather than the comics in which they first appeared. In Superheroes!, acclaimed cultural commentator Roz Kaveney argues that this is a mistake, that, at their best, superhero comics are a form in which some writers and artists are doing fascinating work, not in spite of their chosen form, but because of it. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 278 pages, Text Only. Cover price $18.95.

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.

1st printing. Written by Ethel Carnie Holdsworth and Sophie Rickard. Art and cover by Scarlett Rickard. Adapted from a novel by the radical feminist poet and author Ethel Carnie Holdsworth, this compelling, multilayered, and sumptuously designed dramatic romance plays out against the starkly observed realities of what it was to grow up female in prewar industrial Britain When the Lancashire cotton mill that employs them burns to the ground, sisters Rachel and Hester Martin are each forced to find their own way to survive in the harsh realities of prewar industrial Britain. The contrasting paths they take in their quest for domestic autonomy form a subtly strident allegory of the all-but-insurmountable barriers of class and gender that then enslaved half the population. Part compelling narrative epic, part fiery Marxist-feminist polemic, this faithful, sumptuous, and revelatory adaptation by the award-winning Rickard Sisters reclaims a lost classic by holding it up as a mirror to our own hard times, and as a gloriously flaming beacon to future communities to offer strength, hope, and dignity.
