Inhalt
The author takes a look at the politics behind superhero comics. Drawing on queer theory, Fawaz proposes that superhero comics from the mid-1950s onward have consistently reflected contemporary political debates around marginalized groups. In his view, post-WWII superheroes were »queered« by their portrayal as vulnerable and threatening outsiders. For instance, the Fantastic Four have got abilities that produce nonnormative, or »queer« effects - shown as expressions of deviant gender and sexuality. By contrast, the X-Men are outsiders confronted by an intolerant public. These powerful misfits soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America's most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes.
