Book Description
Super-powered androids appear across America and kidnap various people in top physical condition, including Black Canary. The mastermind behind this is Professor Ivo, who has begun to take on a monstrously deformed appearance as a side effect of the immortality serum he once drank (in THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #30). His plan is to use a machine powered by the life-energies of people with a certain genetic makeup to restore his humanity. While Superman, Elongated Man, Green Arrow and Red Tornado try to prevent further abductions, Aquaman, Hawkman and Wonder Woman attempt to invade IvoÕs island base. The assembled heroes struggle against IvoÕs creations until Aquaman, disguised as one of the androids, destroys their power source, allowing the Justice League to triumph.

Book Description
2017 The Association for the Studies of the Present Book Prize Finalist Mention, 2017 Lora Romero First Book Award Presented by the American Studies Association Winner of the 2012 CLAGS Fellowship Award for Best First Book Project in LGBT Studies How fantasy meets reality as popular culture evolves and ignites postwar gender, sexual, and race revolutions. In 1964, noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler described American youth as “new mutants,” social rebels severing their attachments to American culture to remake themselves in their own image. 1960s comic book creators, anticipating Fiedler, began to morph American superheroes from icons of nationalism and white masculinity into actual mutant outcasts, defined by their genetic difference from ordinary humanity. These powerful misfits and “freaks” soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America’s most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes. In The New Mutants, Ramzi Fawaz draws upon queer theory to tell the story of these monstrous fantasy figures and how they grapple with radical politics from Civil Rights and The New Left to Women’s and Gay Liberation Movements. Through a series of comic book case studies—including The Justice League of America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and The New Mutants—alongside late 20th century fan writing, cultural criticism, and political documents, Fawaz reveals how the American superhero modeled new forms of social belonging that counterculture youth would embrace in the 1960s and after. The New Mutants provides the first full-length study to consider the relationship between comic book fantasy and radical politics in the modern United States.
