-- 229 p. ; 23 cm. -- (Smart Pop Series) -- Includes
bibliographical references. -- Publisher description:
"Leading writers discuss, debate, and celebrate the legend
of Superman in this anthology, contending that his legend
is a truly American myth. Superman was an immigrant with
little more than the clothes on his back and raised by
simple farmers, absorbing their humble values. He always
chose to do the right thing, fighting for truth, justice,
and the American way, and represents America at its best.
The in-depth analyses of the comics, films and cartoons are
at turns funny, philosophical, insightful, and personal,
exploring every aspect of the Superman legend." -- Call

letterer-colorist. 26 p. in Zwanna, Son of Zulu, no. 1
(Apr./May 1993). -- Summary: Eighteen year old Prince
Zwanna enrolls at BASU (Black American State University),
where his brother King Siafa has sent him for his royal
education. At registration he meets a classmate named
Stefani Stoul, and in class the next day he asks her out.
Another classmate hears Zwanna's definition of ethics in
class ("we kill our enemies"), and reports Zwanna to Wilma
Femse, chief of the Focal Spy Company (FSC). FCS is
apparently part of an international conspiracy that King
Siafra warned him Zwanna about. The other three agents of
FSC are called the Black Widows, named Georgina Shrubs,
Rhoda Rayban, and Jamie Carter. All four are white
transvestites. That night Zwanna's "Zulu sense" wakes him
and he rushes out to find three white thugs beating up a
black couple. One thung has a Hitler moustache, one has a
swastika tattoo, and one wears a Confederate flag. All
three are skinheads. Zwanna shouts the word "Zhaab!" and is
transformed into a near-naked warrior with a spear and
necklaces. The thugs are quickly killed. In the office of
the Black Widows, the four transvestites make plans to
catch Zwanna, focusing on his radicalism and his sexuality.
In an office closet they have the corpse of W.R. Tolbert of
Liberia. Soon Zwanna is kidnapped and chained for their
admiration, and Stefani is brought out and threatened. This
is too much, Stefani faints, and Zwanna shouts "Zhaab!"
This gives him the power to rip the chains from the
concrete and kill three of the transvestites. He then
shouts "Chaka!" which enables him to leap ahead of the
final transvestite and kill him. Zwanna picks up the
unconscious Stefani and heads for home. -- Call no.:
