Since Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938, the superhero has changed with the times to remain a relevant icon of American popular culture. This collection explores the evolution of the Superman character and demonstrates how his alterations mirror historical changes in American society. These essays examine Superman's patriotic heroism during World War II, his increase in power in the early years of the Cold War, his death and resurrection at the end of the Cold War, and his recent dramatic reimagining. This volume reveals as much about America as it does about the champion of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Reprinted with additional material, an autobiographical comic about Grant Morrison's encounter with the Superworld! For the millions who know and love the great pantheon of superheroes, here's a brilliant and wildly entertaining exploration of the phenomenon - the story of how our culture gave birth to these otherworldly heroes, how they've changed as we've changed, and how they've transformed us. Here is a mind-jolting look at one of the most ubiquitous, beloved, and misunderstood of American creations: our superheroes. Much more than a book about comics or pop ephemera, Supergods is a polymathic, intellectually exhilarating book about us: our culture, our history, our future, and the heroic power of the stories we tell.

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. Known to law-abiders and evildoers alike as Superman, he was destined to become the invincible champion of all that is good and just. Tye takes us back to Superman's birth at the hands of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, his young, nerdy creators. He introduces readers to the cast of characters who spun and sketched the Last Son of Krypton's adventures and played him on the little screen and the big one. Superman's tale is not just the tale of an American hero but a lens through which to see our best selves. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Marilyn Monroe hires Nate Heller, private eye to the stars, to tap her phone so she will have a record of their calls in case her studio takes her to court.

Walt Disney was a pioneer in the art of animation but by the mid-fifties Disney began to specialize in producing live-action films. This book explores such classics as Old Yeller, The Shaggy Dog, Pollyanna, The Absent-Minded Professor, The Parent Trap, Mary Poppins, and The Love Bug. The book's main focus is on the live-action films that the studio produced from roughly 1955 thru 1980 and the people who were part of them including a solid stock company of actors who audiences identified immediately, even if they didn't always know the name of the actor.

A 'lost adventure' of Doctor Who scripted by Douglas Adams, beloved author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, novelized at last with the approval of the Adams estate. The Doctor's old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to Cambridge University where no one will notice if he lives for centuries. When he left Gallifrey he took with him a few little souvenirs. Most of them are harmless. But one of them is extremely dangerous. The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey isn't a book for Time Tots. It must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. And the sinister Skagra most definitely has the wrong hands. He wants the book. He wants to discover the truth behind Shada. And he wants the Doctor's mind! (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
