Description
With its roots in ancient mythologies and modern obsessions, the idea of the superhero is one that permeates our entertainment as well as our daily lives. This book examines how the key superhero archetypes - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman etc. - touch primal needs and experiences in Western culture.
