Wired 14.06: The Myth of Superman
A thoguht provoking article in Wired, by Neil Gaiman and Adam Rogers that contains a quote from Brian Singer that made me smile, and is something I suspect few people think about today: “Given the nature of the US, it was only natural in the 1930s for our new hero to be the ultimate immigrant.”
Regardless of the immigration thing, this is an article well worth reading. It neatly sums up why Superman is such a timeless appeal for the American public, in ways I’ve never heard voiced before.
