In the nineteenth century, American art and literature developed and nurtured images of the Indian and the frontiersman that exemplified ideals of heroism, bravery, and manhood, as well as embodying fears of betrayal, loss of civilization, and weakness. In the twentieth century, comic books, among other popular forms of media, would inherit these images. The Western genre of comic books participated fully in that genre's conventions, replicating and perpetuating the myths and ideals long associated with the frontier in the United States. A fascination with Native Americans was also present in comic books devoted to depicting the Indian past of the U.S. In such stories, the Indian is always a figure of the past, romanticized as a lost segment of U.S. history, ignoring contemporary and actual Native peoples. Playing Indian occupies a definite subgenre of the Western comics, especially during the postwar period when a host of comics featuring a "white Indian" as the hero were being published. Playing Indian migrates into superhero comics, a phenomenon that heightens and amplifies the notions of heroism, bravery, and manhood already attached to the white Indian trope. Instances of superheroes like Batman and Superman playing Indian correspond with the depictions found in the strictly Western comics. The superhero as Indian is revived in the twenty-first century via Captain America, attesting to the continuing power of this ideal and image."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indians in popular culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Masculinity in popular culture. 650 0 $a Superheroes $x History. 650 0 $a Comic strip characters $x History. 650 0 $a Courage $x Mythology. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $x Mythology $z West (U.S.) 651 0 $a West (U.S.) $x In popular culture. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM $x Comics & Graphic Novels. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Native American Studies. $x Native American Studies. $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: $a Barbour, Chad A., author. $t From Daniel Boone to Captain America. $d Jackson, Mississippi : University Press of Mississippi, 2016 $z 9781496806857 $w (DLC) 2016009449 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024428.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170302014750.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81B85978FF1611E695AA88B7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
