"This close look at Wonder Woman's history portrays a complicated heroine who is more than just a female Superman with a golden lasso and bullet-deflecting bracelets. The original Wonder Woman was ahead of her time, advocating female superiority and the benefits of matriarchy in the 1940s. At the same time, her creator filled the comics with titillating bondage imagery, and Wonder Woman was tied up as often as she saved the world. In the 1950s, Wonder Woman begrudgingly continued her superheroic mission, wishing she could settle down with her boyfriend instead, all while continually hinting at hidden lesbian leanings. While other female characters stepped forward as women's lib took off in the late 1960s, Wonder Woman fell backwards, losing her superpowers and flitting from man to man. MS. magazine and Lynda Carter restored Wonder Woman's feminist strength in the 1970s, turning her into a powerful symbol as her checkered past was quickly forgotten. Exploring this lost history adds new dimensions to the world's most beloved female character, and WONDER WOMAN UNBOUND delves into her comic book and its spin-offs as well as the myriad motivations of her creators to showcase the peculiar journey that led to Wonder Woman's iconic status"-- "With her golden lasso and her bullet-deflecting bracelets, Wonder Woman is a beloved icon of female strength in a world of male superheroes.

Sind Superheldinnen feministisch? Welche Rolle spielten antike Mythen, die biblische Geschichte des Simson oder Nietzsches Philosophie für die Schöpfer von Superman? Und was hat die Nibelungensage mit Marvel zu tun? Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen - u.a. nach der vielfältigen Medialität und Rezeptionsgeschichte von Superhelden-Stories, der Perspektive der Comicschaffenden auf ihre Kunst und dem sich wandelnden Bild des Superhelden in der aktuellen Forschung - gibt dieser Reader, der erstmals in deutscher Sprache und für ein breites Publikum Texte zu Theorie und Geschichte der Superhelden versammelt und kommentiert. Mit Texten u.a. von Shilpa Davé, Umberto Eco, Stan Lee, Friedrich Nietzsche und Véronique Sina und Interviews u.a. mit Frank Miller, Alan Moore und Roy Lichtenstein. »Das Herausgeberteam hat eine Anthologie zusammengestellt, die die Breite der Diskurse über Superhelden wiedergibt, mit Blick auf Kulturen, Medien und Historiographie.« Oliver Neumann, www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 29.12.2019 »Der Band ist ungeheuer materialreich, streckenweise auch sehr unterhaltsam zu lesen.« Franz Rottensteiner, Quarber Merkur, 120 (2019) »Was vorher nur unzusammenhängend in verstreuten Quellen zu finden war, hat das dreiköpfige Herausgeberteam zu einer ungemein anregenden und tiefschürfenden Anthologie zusammengestellt. Eine Superleistung!« Alexander Sury, Der Bund, 27.05.2019 »Dieser rundum gelungene Reader [ist] ein Novum im hiesigen Buchmarkt, an dem man nicht vorbeikommt, wenn man sich [...] mit diesem Thema beschäftigt.« Uwe Bereitenbom, tv diskurs, 23/2 (2019) »Eine vertiefte Beschäftigung mit der Figur des Superhelden sollte in Zukunft stets mit diesem Reader beginnen.« Nikolas Immer, Informationsmittel (IFB), 20.12.2018 »Eine überaus spannende und informative Sammlung ganz unterschiedlicher Texte zum Themenkreis Superhelden. Die gute Lesbarkeit und die saubere Struktur des Buches werden dazu führen, dass er oft in die Hand genommen werden wird.« Splash Comics, 30.08.2018 O-Ton: »Politik spielt eine große Rolle in den Superhelden-Comics« - Thomas Nehrlich im Gespräch beim Deutschlandfunk.
