by Danny Fingeroth Many creators of the most famous superheroes came from Jewish backgrounds - secular, religious, or both. In Disguised as Clark Kent, Danny Fingeroth explores how the Jewish consciousness of these individuals had an effect on the content of the comics and contributed to making characters such as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman into the most familiar pop-culture icons of all time. The creators interviewed for this book bring valuable insights into the fantasies that fuel the imagination, the entertainment industry, as well as many signficant, and often hidden, aspects of society.

(W) Nevin Martell For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Bill Watterson, its mercurial and reclusive creator, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life. Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip traces the life and career of the extraordinary, influential, and intensely private man behind Calvin and Hobbes. Input from artists and writers such Dave Barry, Harvey Pekar, Jonathan Lethem, and Brad Bird, as well as some of Watterson's closest friends and professional colleagues brings readers close to one of America's most ingenious and intriguing figures.

(W) Matthew J. Costello The Marvel superheroes that came to dominate the comic book industry for most of the last five decades were born under the potential mushroom cloud of nuclear war that was a cornerstone of the four-decade division of the world between the United States and the Soviet Union. These stories were consciously set in this world and reflect the changing culture of Cold War (and post-Cold War) America. Like other forms of popular entertainment, comic books tend to reflect and comment upon cultural trends. This groundbreaking new study focuses on a handful of titles that specifically involve political and socio-economic codes, including Captain America, the Invincible Iron Man, Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD, and the Incredible Hulk to reveal how the American self was transformed during the Cold War and after.
