“Emotions like rage, fear, and love are a constant presence in superhero comics. They are not just articulated in the genre’s expressive visual language but are also central to characters and their stories. This volume is the first to shine the spotlight on this emotional potential in an academic study, revealing the various facets of emotion in US superhero comics.”
