1st printing. By E. Paul Zehr. Battling bad guys. High-tech hideouts. The gratitude of the masses. Who at some point in their life hasn't dreamed of being a superhero? Impossible, right? Or is it?

Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: could a mortal ever become Batman? A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable - though extreme - level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

1st printing. By Aldo J. Regalado. Bending Steel examines the historical origins and cultural significance of Superman and his fellow American crusaders. The cultural conversation articulated through the nation's early heroic fiction eventually led to a new heroic type - the brightly clad, super-powered, pro-social action heroes that first appeared in American comic books starting in the late 1930s. Tracing superhero fiction all the way back to the nineteenth century, Regalado explores the roles played by creators, producers, and consumers in crafting superhero fiction, ultimately concluding that these narratives are essential for understanding vital trajectories in American culture.

1st printing. By Julie D. O'Reilly. Starting in 1996, U.S. television saw an influx of super human female characters who could materialize objects like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, defeat evil like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have premonitions like Charmed Phoebe. The extraordinary abilities of these women showed resistance to traditional gender roles while the super women experienced infringements on their abilities in ways super powered men did not. As a result, superpowers become a narrative technique to diminish these characters, a technique that began with television's first super powered woman, Samantha (of Bewitched). The television superwomen have endured as a metaphor for women trying to "have it all," as their travails parallel those of their off-screen counterparts. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 250 pages, B&W.

Big Nate and his friends in the 6th-grade supergroup "Fear The Mollusk" are destined for stardom!

In "The Curse of the Applewhites," Nate helps his friend Chad break an ancient family hex through the fine art of figure-skating.

By Jeffery A Brown.

What do the comic book figures Static, Hardware, and Icon all have in common? Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans gives an answer that goes far beyond "tights and capes." Milestone was the brainchild of four young black creators who wanted to part from the mainstream and do their stories their own way. Milestone focused on the African American heroes in a town called Dakota. Milestone's creators aimed for exceptional stories that addressed racial issues without alienating readers. Tracing the company's history and discussing its creators, their works, and the fans, this book gauges Milestone alongside other black comic book publishers, mainstream publishers, and the history of costumed characters.

1st printing. By Chris Murray. It is often thought that Britain did not have its own superheroes, yet there were a great many in Britain.

From the emergence of British superheroes in the 1940s, the advent of "fake" American comics, and the reformatting of reprinted material to the British Invasion of the 1980s, and the pivotal roles in American superhero comics and film production held by British artists today, this book will challenge views about British superheroes and the comics' creators who fashioned them.
