This well-loved copy of “The New Mutants” by Ramzi Fawaz offers a fascinating exploration of the radical imagination that shaped American comics in the latter half of the 20th century. Fawaz, a scholar of American literature and culture, delves into the socio-political undercurrents that influenced the creation of iconic mutant superheroes like the X-Men. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, he examines how these characters embodied the struggles of marginalized communities, challenging societal norms and championing diversity. Fawaz’s work situates the mutant metaphor within the broader context of civil rights movements, queer politics, and the countercultural zeitgeist of the 1960s and beyond. For collectors and readers alike, this book provides a compelling lens through which to appreciate the enduring cultural significance of these beloved comic book heroes and the creators who dared to imagine a more inclusive world.
