| Synopsis: |
Builds on the popularity of Mike Madrid's debut book The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines, EAP's bestselling title Appeals to a graphic novel audience with 28 full reproductions of vintage comics from the Golden Age Appeals to audiences interested in the history of comic books, feminism, and American cultural history with foreword by Maria Elena Buszek, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Colorado Denver, author of Pin-Up Grrrls: Feminism, Sexuality, Popular Culture, and regular contributor to Bust magazine. The author is an expert on comic book history and appears in the recent documentary Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines, along with Gloria Steinem, Lynda Carter, and Trina Robbins. Readers will be especially fascinated by heroines with striking similarities to more modern superheroes, such as The Spider Queen, who deployed web shooters twenty years before Peter Parker, and Marga the Panther Woman, whose feral instincts and sharp claws tore up the bad guys long before Wolverine. |
