Superheroes!, Greg Garrett, Westminster/John Knox Press, Louisville KY; 2008 Comic
books and comic book characters in the movie are resurgent (3 big comic book
movies are due to be released in the summer of ’08) and Garrett, a comic book
fan and seminary trained professor of literature, has written this book to
show how these comic book characters have a spiritual underpinning. He uses
Superman, the original “good guy”, as a basis for comparison with other
cartoon characters and how they all develop in their values and
understandings. He outlines how characters have become much more complex in
the course of 50-60 years of development and shows what depth can be found in
the world of comics, graphic novels, and comic book films. The book concludes
with a list of 25 comics and graphic novels to use for discussion and
suggests possible themes for each. See also: Christian
