    1st printing. Edited by Kevin Durand and Mary Leigh. From his first comic-book appearance in 1939 through his many incarnations on the big screen, the archetypal superhero known as The Batman has never been far from the American consciousness.

These essays examine Batman through a wide range of disciplines - philosophy, literature, psychology, pop culture, and more. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 224 pages, B&W. Cover price $40.00.

    1st printing.

    By Lauren R. O'Connor.

    Debuting just a few months after Batman himself, Robin has been an integral part of the Dark Knight's history and, from the outset, has both reflected and reinforced particular images of American adolescence. Closely reading several characters who have "played" Robin over the past eighty years, Robin and the Making of American Adolescence reveals the Boy (and sometimes Girl!) Wonder as a complex figure through whom mainstream culture has addressed anxieties about adolescents in relation to sexuality, gender, and race.

    Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 198 pages, Text (with full color photos).

    Cover price $29.95.

    Soul of the Dark Knight SC (2014 McFarland) Batman as Mythic Figure in Comics and Film 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Alex M. Wainer. This is a book about the comics genre and language, how these were used to create Batman, and how that character's longevity is largely due to the medium's unique formal qualities. It argues that Batman's core appeal is his mythic nature which allows him to transcend changes in reader tastes, the vicissitudes of the comics industry, and the changing media landscape. It is a study of how the formal aspects of comics are able to evoke uniquely mythic qualities that have made Batman such a long-lived cultural phenomenon. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, Text. Cover price $40.00.
