Altercations 1(1)

DAVID YURKOVICH has often redefined the concept of super-heroes and super-heroics with ground-breaking works such as DEATH BY CHOCOLATE, the s.h.o.p., and BROCCOLI AGENDA. He returns to the genre with an analysis of the real history of super-hero altercations, from their modest beginnings in San Francisco circa 1906, through the destructive encounters in 1985 Seattle and beyond. ALTERCATIONS examines how the goings on of the super-human in 20th century North America reflected the era of the times in which they lived. Despite whatever unusual or bizarre powers these individuals may have had, the men and women who engaged in these altercations were, in fact, not so different from us all. They were merely players in a much larger world.

ALFRED PINCHLEY has written over 300 critical essays from topics as diverse as the holocaust to the piston engine. Pinchley's brief chapter commentaries provide historical background on the unique group of characters dramatized within the pages of ALTERCATIONS.
