Re: Comic Books and Deity
Thats a good point about the links between pagan mythology and comic books, but for fear of sounding like 'Dr. Glass' from unbreakable, there is an interesto corollary to that.
Notice that we have made the Archetypal comic book hero All Good, and contrasted him with an Archetypal villain that is All Evil (a few notable exceptions, of course, expecially post 1960s).
So in a way, we have taken the Christian Duality and mushed it together with pagan deities to create a native literature form that speaks very strongly to American society.
Its pretty interesting.
