One of the benefits of working with academics such as the lovely Tricia Jenkins is that you get your work published in journals – a space usually reserved for people with PhDs to make up polysyllabic terms for things that most intelligent people figured out when they were 10 years old. I’m joking, but I’m also not joking.

This is the first of two journal articles based on chapter of our forthcoming book Superheroes, Movies and the State: How the Government Shapes a Popular Genre. Title and release date TBC.
