Описание книги

#1 Best Seller in Comics & Graphic Novels and Pop Culture  ─  A Deeper Look at Superhero Soldiers Military heroes in comic books.  Comic book superheroes have been influenced by the true heroes of our armed forces for decades. They frequently recreate the actions of presidents, military leaders, and soldiers. From Captain America punching Hitler in the jaw on his very first cover, to The Punisher surviving the battle of Firebase Valley Forge, there are countless instances when the military has crossed over to the pages of comic books. Soldiers and superheroes.  A veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, author Jason Inman re-discovered his childhood love of comic books during long days at the Tallil Air Base in southern Iraq. He couldn’t help but ask why so many comic books are filled with service members. Maybe it’s their loyalty to everyday citizens and the never-ending quest for justice. The men and women who lace up their books and sacrifice their lives know that battle can change a person. What kinds of soldiers were these fictional characters, and how were they changed by war? Perfect military enlistment gift or gift for veterans.   Super Soldiers: A Salute to the Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Country  looks at the intersection between war and pop culture to understand these questions and more. Each chapter revisits military comic book characters and compares them to personal stories from Inman’s military career; describing superhero soldiers from DC comics and Marvel comics, including lesser-known characters lost to time.  Super Soldiers  is a perfect gift for soldiers and fans of military science fiction or non-fiction heroes, and everyone who wants to know the stories behind their favorite comic books. You’ll love  Super Soldiers  if you enjoyed  DC Comics Encyclopedia All-New Edition ,  The Secret History of Wonder Woman ,  The League of Regrettable Superheroes ,  The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains  or non-fiction books such as  Alone at Dawn ,  Saving Bravo,  or  Across The Fence .

Jason Inman. Super Soldiers

Отрывок из книги

“Jason Inman provides a manual which utilizes and analyzes subtext to offer psychological profiles of our favorite superheroes, viewed in the context of their fictional experiences as warriors and veterans in the US armed forces. He demonstrates vividly and entertainingly how the superhero pantheon is firmly rooted in the disciplines, lore, and traditions of American combatants throughout history. The creators of all these characters took a good look at real-life military heroes for their inspiration, and now Mr. Inman makes this link clear.”

“Having worked with military charities for a decade now, I know how real the connection is between costumed heroes and the everyday heroes of our country. In this informative and funny book, Jason Inman highlights that connection for people who may have never known of its existence. We have our vets to thank for the Marvel Universe (both Stan Lee and Jack Kirby served), and we have Jason to thank for this book that acts as a love letter to the patriot comic book characters of the past and present.”
