Do The Gods Wear Capes?: Spirituality, Fantasy, and Superheroes - New Directions in Religion and Literature
Dr Ben Saunders
Shows that Superhero comics address deep emotional needs. This book suggests the fantasies of power and romance are attempts to wrestle and negotiate with some fundamentally spiritual issues: the problem of evil, the inescapability of human imperfection, and the stark fact of mortality.
