With her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, Wonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes. But this close look at her history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world. In the 1950s, Wonder Woman begrudgingly continued her superheroic mission, wishing she could settle down with her boyfriend instead, all while continually hinting at hidden lesbian leanings. While other female characters stepped forward as women's lib took off in the late 1960s, Wonder Woman fell backwards, losing her superpowers and flitting from man to man. Ms. Magazine and Lynda Carter restored Wonder Woman's feminist strength in the 1970s, turning her into a powerful symbol as her checkered past was quickly forgotten. Exploring this lost history as well as her modern incarnations adds new dimensions to the world's most beloved female character, and Wonder Woman Unbound delves into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the myriad motivations of her creators to showcase the peculiar journey that led to Wonder Woman's iconic status.

(W) Craig Cabell Few roles in television history are as iconic, demanding, or as anticipated by its legion of fans as that of the famous time traveler with two hearts. This compendium of facts about the men behind the role reveals to fans who was a bouncer for the Rolling Stones before taking control of the TARDIS, who was nearly blown up in World War II aboard HMS Hood, who had a fondness for wooly hats and a grandson who would become Harry Potter's nemesis, and who played a transvestite barmaid before becoming a Who heart-throb. All these bizarre facts are explained as the lives and careers of each Doctor are put under the spotlight. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

by Emma Westwood From the beginning of cinema, things that go bump in the night have colored our collective storytelling experience. The hypothetical 'monster,' in whatever guise or otherworldly shape it may take, is the manifestation of our fears and social paranoias, and an effective watchdog for making sure we all toe the line. This book peels back the flesh on a few monsters that have tingled our spines and caused more than a few nightmares over the past 100 years, from the creepy talons of Max Schreck in 1922's Nosferatu through the Tokyo-stomping Godzilla, to present-day cinematic monsters from such touchstones as Alien, King Kong, The Fly, and Evil Dead.

When Elisabeth Sladen first appeared as plucky journalist Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who's 1973 story 'The Time Warrior,' little did she know the character would become one of the most enduring and fondly remembered in the series' history. By the time she left the series, Sladen had become one of the series' most familiar faces. But that wasn't the end of Sarah Jane, as Sladen reprised her role time and again. She discusses touring the weird, wide, and wonderful world of Doctor Who fandom and shares details of Sarah Jane's most recent incarnation when TV wunderkind Russell T. Davies approached her to return once more, this time to a Doctor Who backed by lavish budgets. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
