I was looking into some of the older batman comics and I wanted to know more about the personal politics of the writers. Frank miller, moore, etc, and needless to say I didn’t really find much in that regard.
I posted an article above; just as an example to what kind of info I could find about that subject. I’m not satisfied.
Like are superheroes just a right wing ideal? That issues in the world need (a few) very powerful people in order to solve instead of just systematically solving them?
Or is that the superheroes we do have are made by people with rightwing leanings?
Beating up poor mentally ill people to protect the status quo is perfectly conservative. It is the western myth of the gun and eugenics combined.
The first issue of superman red sun is great though. Superman lands in the ussr as a baby and is raised soviet style. He overthrows all the world governments and brings in a general age of peace and prosperity. The rest of thr run goes downhill from there but I just stopped it there and had a very nice time.
I heard about that one, I had a feeling they were quickly going to move into “communism bad” territory.
It is in the seccond or third issue. So I having accidentaly only read the first one never knew about that.
