Capes & Tights: Superhero Comics

In partnership with The Physics Room and RDU

WORD-Web-Event-CAPESTIGHTS
Back to Programme

When: Sunday, 31 August 4pm

Venue: The Physics Room

Price: $12/ $10


Buy tickets:Click here


Philosopher Damon Young collects comics and has written about Wonder Woman as a role model for his young daughter; film-maker and cartoonist Jonathan King was an early and ardent fan of superhero comics but they lost their lustre for him, even before Hollywood got on board; Young Adult author Karen Healey has written about gender and fandom and has started a PhD on American superhero comics.

Has Hollywood ruined comics? What does copyright mean for fanfic? Are superhero comics inherently sexist? And are they ideologically sound? Join local comics hero (and former Batgirl writer) Dylan Horrocks as he guides the panel through a wide-ranging and sure-to-be surprising discussion.
