Although their ascendency points towards European ancestors, and although non-American heroes have been sharing their characteristics for a long time, among them Obelix, Diabolik and many manga characters, the cape and costume genre remains firmly grounded in the United States. It is thus unsurprising that, with a brief exception during the Second World War, super hero narratives should have taken place mostly in the United States (although Metropolis, Superman’s headquarter, was notoriously based on Toronto) or in outer space.

  • 1 in Our Culture, the Decisive Political Conflict, Which Governs Every
    THE GRAPHIC NOVEL SOPHIST: GRANT MORRISON’S ANIMAL MAN IAN HORNSBY In our culture, the decisive political conflict, which governs every conflict, is that between the animality and the humanity of man. (Agamben) The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, in his book The Open: Man and Animal (2004), argues that while in early modern western philosophy, at least since Descartes, the human has been consistently described as the separation of body and mind, we would do better to re-describe the human, as that which results from the practical and political division of humanity from animality. After beginning with a brief outline of Agamben’s concept of ‘Bare Life’, as the empty interval between human and animal, which is neither “human life” nor “animal life,” but a life separated and excluded from itself; I will closely examine these ideas in relation to Grant Morrison’s DC Vertigo comic Animal Man (1988-90) to disclose aspects of sophist logic displaced in Agamben’s text. 1 § 1 Bare Life The concept of ‘bare life’ (2004, 38) is central to the philosophy of Agamben, not least, because he sees this empty interval between the animal and the human as the site for rethinking the future of politics and philosophy and preventing the onward progress of the ‘anthropological machine’ (2004, 37). A term he uses to describe the mechanism that has and continues to produces our recognition of what it means to be human. As Agamben states ‘It is an optical Machine constructed of a series of mirrors in which man, looking at himself, sees his own image always already deformed in the features of an ape.
