Fingeroth's book is an easy, intriguing read, exploring the histories of superheroes and their creators. This is clearly a topic in which Fingeroth is eminently well-versed. -- Jewish Book World Looking back at the gold and silver era of comics, [Fingeroth] uses close reading and artist testimony...to explore parallels between Superman and Moses, Spider-Man's morality tales and the Torah, Fantastic Four arch-nemesis Hate Monger and Hitler, and others. Fingeroth's theories can seem far-fetched...[but] there's nothing here that wouldn't be at home (or much appreciated) in a spirited debate among hard core fans. -- Publishers Weekly
