Superman, Batman, Daredevil, and Wonder Woman are iconic cultural figures that embody values of order, fairness, justice, and retribution. Comic Book Crime digs deep into these and other celebrated characters, providing a comprehensive understanding of crime and justice in contemporary American comic books. This is a world where justice is delivered, where heroes save ordinary citizens from certain doom, where evil is easily identified and thwarted by powers far greater than mere mortals could possess. Nickie Phillips and Staci Strobl explore these representations and show that comic books, as a historically important American cultural medium, participate in both reflecting and shaping an American ideological identity that is often focused on ideas of the apocalypse, utopia, retribution, and nationalism. Through an analysis of approximately 200 comic books sold from 2002 to 2010, as well as several years of immersion in comic book fan culture, Phillips and Strobl reveal the kinds of themes and plots popular comics feature in a post-9/11 context. They discuss heroes’ calculations of “deathworthiness,” or who should be killed in meting out justice, and how these judgments have as much to do with the hero’s character as they do with the actions of the villains. This fascinating volume also analyzes how class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation are used to construct difference for both the heroes and the villains in ways that are both conservative and progressive. Engaging, sharp, and insightful, Comic Book Crime is a fresh take on the very meaning of truth, justice, and the American way.

The humor of Sherlock Holmes, Donald Westlake, Agatha Christie, Michael Innes, and Edmund Crispin are just a few of those discussed. A major point highlighted by this book is simply that wit, slapstick. laughter, and an anything-can-happen motif appear in a significant amount of fiction about crime.

"It began in the early 1930s, when a square-jawed detective named Dick Tracy caused quite a stir in the comics. Soon comic books would be filled with forthright heroes, nasty hoodlums, G-men, and the most infamous criminals. Crime comics were bold, wild, and bloody - and the most popular comic book genre of the mid-forties and fifties." "Mike Benton, author of Taylor's award-winning History of Comics series, explores the colorful history of this genre: its birth in Dick Tracy and the crime pulps . . . the Depression-era battles between public enemies like Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson and J. Edgar Hoover's FBI . . . the years of TV detectives from Peter Gunn to the Mod Squad and more . . . and today's new breed of detectives. Along the way, you'll meet the graphic incarnations of such literary favorites as Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, and Perry Mason - but do you remember Sally the Sleuth from Spicy Detective; Jane Arden, Crime Reporter; Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective; or Little Al of the FBI?" "And the notorious comic books are all here - Crime Doesn't Pay, Parole Breakers, Crimes by Women, The Killers, Reform School Girl, and Behind Prison Bars - the books that raised the wrath of Fredric Wertham (in Seduction of the Innocent), the U.S. Senate, and the nation's parents. Crime comics shows you just what all the fuss was about." "Here, too, are more than 300 full-color photographs of covers and panel art, profiles of the great detectives and real-life criminals, an exhaustive checklist of every crime comic published - right through to today's Ms. Tree Quarterly."
