Nonetheless, many works fall back on familiar examples before arriving at predictable conclusions. \u003ci\u003eSuperheroes Beyond \u003c\/i\u003emoves superhero research beyond expected examples. In this innovative collection, contributors unmask international crimefighters, track superheroes outside of the comic book page, and explore heroes whose secret identities are not cisgender men. \u003ci\u003eSuperheroes Beyond \u003c\/i\u003eresponds to the growing interest in understanding the unique appeal of superheroes by reveling in the diversity of this heroic type.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSuperheroes Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e explores the complexity and cultural reach of the superhero in three sections. The first, \"Beyond Men of Steel,\" examines how the archetype has moved beyond simply recapitulating the \"man of steel\" figure to include broader representations of race, gender, sexuality, and ableness. The second section, \"Beyond Comic Books,\" discusses how the superhero has become a transmedia phenomenon, moving from comic books to toys to cinema screens and beyond. The final section, \"Beyond the United States,\" highlights the vibrant but often overlooked history of global superhero figures. Together, the essays in this collection form important starting points for taking stock of the superhero’s far-reaching appeal, contributing the critical conversations required to bring scholarship into the present moment and beyond.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702482366744,"sku":"9781496850102","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/superheroes-beyond-paperback-softback-9781496850102","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
