Robin and the Making of American Adolescence

Beschreibung

Holy adolescence, Batman! This book offers the first character history and analysis of the most famous superhero sidekick, Robin. It partners up comics studies and adolescent studies as a new Dynamic Duo, revealing the Boy (and sometimes Girl!) Wonder as a complex figure through whom mainstream culture has addressed anxieties about American teens.
