While not nonficiton, the story is inspired by a real radio show that was used to show oppositon to the KKK. The story follows a young Chinese girl who has moved to a suburb in Metropolis and fights the Clan of the Fiery Cross with Superman. The book is a fun read, but does not at all white wash the racial attitudes of post-WWII America. The language in the book is frank, as is the violence. For those who liked kindness as the new punk rock, this is an excellent choice.

Columbia Professor Jeremy Dauber does an excellent and in depth study of the history of comic books in America. From the origins of comics with the political cartoons  of Thomas Nast, to the moral panic of the Eisenhower period, to the underground comix movements, to the twenty first century, this is a key resource for anyone looking to understand comics.

I had to read this book for my Fantasy Illustration and Science Fiction class in my first year of undergrad and has proved to be an important study. It has helped me understand the medium of comic books, and how to analyze them. It is a great read for those looking to do critical analysis of comics.

Superman is a pillar of the community, saving squirrels and helping everyone.   He dares us to imagine a world different than our own, one that is better, kinder, and more beautiful. Kaba does just that in this book dedicated to the practical applications of abolitionist organizing.
