Keeping It Unreal: Black Queer Fantasy and Superhero Comics by Darieck Scott (review)

Abstract

1. Brunet and Davis cite a blog that quotes from an interview that Jim Amash did with Vince Fago which was published in Alter Ego #11. In their introduction Brunet and Davis critique the use of interviews with male comics creators from the Golden and Silver Ages, using all Alter Ego interviews as their examples of problematic interviews that are used to shape comics history (Comic Book Women, 9–10). It is worth noting that, if Snyder did identify as a lesbian, she might not have identified as queer and vice versa—these words have historically contingent meanings and must be used carefully.
