By Will Brooker.
A work of scholarship and a labor of love.
A historical, detailed, deep analysis of Batman as a cultural icon in America. This isn't a simple polemic or surface-shallow analysis. This is deep stuff-analyzing art styles, histories, individual panels, cultural concepts, and historical documents. plenty of startling revelations and analyses This is a stunningly well-done, intelligent book. It's proof that comics are not throwaway ephemera, but real, vital, analyzable parts of our culture.
Over the sixty years of his existence, Batman has encountered an impressive array of cultural icons and has gradually become one himself. This fascinating book examines what Batman means and has meant to the various audiences, groups and communities who have tried to control and interpret him over the decades. Brooker reveals the struggles over Batman's meaning by shining a light on the cultural issues of the day that impacted on the development of the character. They include: patriotic propaganda of the Second World War; the accusation that Batman was corrupting the youth of America by appearing to promote a homosexual lifestyle to the fans of his comics; Batman becoming a camp, pop culture icon through the ABC TV series of the sixties; fans' interpretation of Batman in response to the comics and the Warner Bros. franchise of films.

By Chynna Clugston-Major. The final issue of the second series! Nominated for two Harvey awards, Chynna Clugston-Major is indie comics' brightest hope, and Blue Monday the series is too cool to be certified! Bleu thought that she'd overcome the humiliation of being the Traci Lords of her high school by taking advantage of Alan's crush and stealing back the illicit videotape of her bathing...but things haven't been going right. The giant, talking Otter spirit that has been following her around like some deranged version of a Jimmy Stewart movie has made her think that maybe she's going crazy, and when the dang thing follows her out on her and Alan's date to a Marilyn Monroe film fest, it all starts to go downhill. Which is all too good news for Victor, who is waiting in the wings for when Alan screws up. See the conclusion of the latest story arc in comics' most hilarious teen comedy, Blue Monday! 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $2.95.

Cover by Bill Sienkiewicz. X/Essad Ribic/Kent Williams. A new message from X: "Genetic testing in schools to ferret out those young men and women who may be mutants?

To the demagogue Ludlum: continue to spew your racist rhetoric at your own risk. For every word you utter, we will take action.
