<h1>Description</h1>
<p>American comics from the start have reflected the white supremacist
culture out of which they arose. Superheroes and comic books in general
are products of whiteness, and both signal and hide its presence. Even
when comics creators and publishers sought to advance an antiracist
agenda, their attempts were often undermined by a lack of awareness of
their own whiteness and the ideological baggage that goes along with it.
Even the most celebrated figures of the industry, such as Jerry Siegel
and Joe Shuster, Jack Jackson, William Gaines, Stan Lee, Robert Crumb,
Will Eisner, and Frank Miller, have not been able to distance themselves
from the problematic racism embedded in their narratives despite their
intentions or explanations. </p><p><i>Bandits, Misfits, and Superheroes: Whiteness and Its Borderlands in American Comics and Graphic Novels</i>
provides a sober assessment of these creators and their role in
perpetuating racism throughout the history of comics. Josef Benson and
Doug Singsen identify how whiteness has been defined, transformed, and
occasionally undermined over the course of eighty years in comics and in
many genres, including westerns, horror, crime, funny animal,
underground comix, autobiography, literary fiction, and historical
fiction. This exciting and groundbreaking book assesses industry giants,
highlights some of the most important episodes in American comic book
history, and demonstrates how they relate to one another and form a
larger pattern, in unexpected and surprising ways.</p>
