Episode Synopsis
Superhero Comics are a uniquely American artform that have intertwined with US history since their inception. Hosts Hollis Thompson and Kelly Guentner explore the ways that superhero comics both mirror what’s going on in the history of their era and even influence that history. Superheroes have become our modern mythology, and the way the stories have evolved with US society is fascinating from a sociological standpoint.
Hollis is an English Professor who specializes in studying stories, and Kelly is an all-around geek girl who has been fascinated with superheroes and the power of storytelling for her entire life. They both seek to examine this topic and all of its many facets in an entertaining way.
