DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Jennifer K. Stuller (www.Ink-stainedamazon.com) uses Alan Moore’s graphic novel Promethea in relation to Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological concepts of the elemental Flesh and the Chiasm to illustrate how comics narratives have the power to encourage us to experience the world as profoundly magical. Frank Verano (Temple University) casts the work of Grant Morrison in such comics as The Invisibles and Flex Metallo in the light of visual culture to explore Morrison’s intriguing claims that fictional characters are “more real” than “real” people. Jason Bainbridge (University of Tasmania) explores how the establishment of the Marvel and DC universes and the prominence of the superhero therein embodies the tension between modern progress and premodern justice
