Danny Fingeroth explores the origins of superheroes in his book Superman On The Couch. By setting parameters for what constitutes a "super" hero, he’s able to trace their history and origins in mythic storytelling. Fingeroth goes further to explain the cultural, emotion and psychological origins of the modern superheroes commonly found in comics, film and television. Most importantly, his work explores the significance of superheroes to us and their place in the human psyche.
