Secret Identity Reader: Essays on Sex, Death and the Superhero
Lee Easton and Richard Harrison

Comic-book superheroes have risen from their newsprint beginnings to dominate films, infiltrate the literary establishment, and become an integral part of popular culture. Secret Identity Reader: Essays on Sex, Death, and the Superhero is a collaboration between two authors who investigate, and often disagree on, key facets of the superhero character and storyline. Masculinity, origin stories and the problem of the side kick are all fair game in this wide ranging discussion, which also considers the superhero’s place in a post 9/11 world and considers why these characters keep dying and coming back to life.
