Why do some superheroes have day jobs? Why do villains keep trying even though they almost never win? Why don't heroes simply take over the world? With brilliant deadpan humour, comic aficionado professor J. Brian O’Roark uses the tools of economics to explain superheroes, and the world of superheroes to explain economics.
