The unclipped dust jacket is in near fine condition. 10 ¼ x 7 ¼, 240 pages, 25 ounces XX [From the dust jacket flaps] For many, the idea of comic book art implies simplistic four-color renderings of stiff characters slugging it out. In fact, modern superhero comic books showcase a range of complex artistic styles, with diverse connotations. Leading comics scholar Jeffrey A. Brown assesses six distinct approaches to superhero illustration - idealism, realism, cute, retro, grotesque, and noir - examining how each visually represents the superhero as a symbolic construct freighted with meaning. Whereas comic book studies tend to focus on text and narrative, SUPER BODIES gives overdue credit to the artwork, which is not only a principal source of the appeal of comic books but also central to the values these works embody. Brown argues that superheroes are to be taken not as representations of people but as iconic types, and the art conveys this. Even the most realistic comic illustrations are designed to suggest not persons but ideas - ideas about bodies and societies. Thus the appearance of superheroes both directly and indirectly influences the story being told as well as the opinions readers form concerning justice, authority, gender, puberty, sexuality, ethnicity, violence, and other concepts central to political and cultural life. XX JEFFREY A. BROWN is a professor of popular culture at Bowling Green State University. He is the author of Batman and the Multiplicity of Identity: The Contemporary Comic Book Superhero as Cultural Nexus; Love, Sex, Gender, and Superheroes; and other books on comic books and superheroes. XX SUPER BODIES provides an entirely new framework for thinking through the importance of visual style in comics. It is likely to be incredibly generative for the field of comics studies and beyond (Bart Beaty, Coeditor of COMICS STUDIES: A GUIDEBOOK). This engaging discussion of styles as a broader issue, rather than the styles of individual artists, will appeal to students at all levels and academics in fields including comics studies, but also design, illustration, and cultural and media studies (Mel Gibson, Author of REMEMBERED READING: MEMORY, COMICS AND POST-WAR CONSTRUCTIONS OF BRITISH GIRLHOOD).…
