Gives overdue credit to the artwork, which is not only a principal source of the appeal of comic books but also central to the values these works embody. Jeffrey A. Brown assesses six distinct approaches to superhero illustration—idealism, realism, cute, retro, grotesque, and noir—examining how each visually represents the superhero as a symbolic construct freighted with meaning.
