Reviews
The versatility of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor lends itself to several research and classroom purposes. For one, it can be useful for anyone researching some of the major comic artists and writers (e.g., Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Claremont, John Byrne, Jim Lee) who labored on the series. Its accessibility lends itself to both high school and college classrooms and libraries.... Even for those less interested in representations of race and gender, X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor can make an excellent resource for X-Men history. Perhaps most critically, a book like this points to one of the key features of comics with a longevity like Uncanny X-Men: one can chart the changes in societal views of woman and minorities over an extended period of time. * Journal of American Culture * The versatility of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor lends itself to several research and classroom purposes.
