Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The bold artistic imagination of Mike Mignola's comic Hellboy draws on Western beliefs surrounding heroes and villains that are shaped by centuries of storytelling, theology, and popular culture. The "Christ/Antichrist complex" is at the core of Western apocalyptic imagination, offering a clear divide between good and evil and highlighting the evolving dynamics of heroism and villainy. Throughout history, violent heroes and violent villains have been presented as paired opposites, entwined in a way that frames the violence of the "good guys" as natural, noble, and necessary. Through the examination of how messianic and heroic figures have relied on displays of power that might otherwise be perceived as excessive, vulgar, or villainous, this volume reveals how deeply ingrained these narrative traditions are and how they inform the stubbornly mysterious but artistically coherent world of Hellboy and its adaptations. Utilizing multiple disciplines, it encourages a more critical, historically grounded understanding, reminding readers that it is always worth questioning the stories that justify violence and moral certainty. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781476696355
