  Was Superman's arch nemesis Lex Luthor based on Aleister Crowley? Can Captain Marvel be linked to the Sun gods on antiquity? In Our Gods Wear Spandex, Christopher Knowles answers these questions and brings to light many other intriguing links between superheroes and the enchanted world of estoerica. Occult students and comic-book fans alike will discover countless fascinating connections, from little known facts such as that DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz started his career as H.P. Lovecraft's agent, to the tantalizingly extensive influence of Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy on the birth of comics, to the mystic roots of Superman. The book also traces the rise of the comic superheroes and how they relate to several cultural trends in the late 19th century, specifically the occult explosion in Western Europe and America. Knowles reveals the four basic superhero archetypes--the Messiah, the Golem, the Amazon, and the Brotherhood--and shows how the occult Bohemian underground of the early 20th century provided the inspiration for the modern comic book hero. With the popularity of occult comics writers like Invisibles creator Grant Morrison and V for Vendetta creator Alan Moore, the vast ComiCon audience is poised for someone to seriously introduce them to the esoteric mysteries. Chris Knowles is doing just that in this epic book. Chapters include Ancient of Days, Ascended Masters, God and Gangsters, Mad Scientists and Modern Sorcerers, and many more. From the ghettos of Prague to the halls of Valhalla to the Fortress of Solitude and the aisles of BEA and ComiCon, this is the first book to show the inextricable link between superheroes and the enchanted world of esoterica.* Chris Knowles is associate editor and columnist for the five-time Eisner Award-winning Comic Book Artist magazine, as well as a pop culture writer for UK magazine Classic Rock.* Knowles worked with Robert Smigel on The X Presidents graphic novel, based on the popular Saturday Night Live cartoon, and has created designs and artwork for many of the world's top superheroes and fantasy characters.* Features the art of Joe Linsner, creator of the legendary Dawn series, and more recently a collaborator with comics maestro Stan Lee.

  *When you set foot in an abandoned village, it can be quite a shock to realize you aren't quite alone...* 
  Good news! Fun-loving, adventure-finding Steve is going on vacation! Bad news – *it's with the school!*  Not only will Steve have to endure the snore-worthy teachings of Mr. Notch, he also has to contend with Donnie Buggs – *the meanest school bully around*. Steve is heartened when his lady wolf Bob is able to go on vacation with them though – perhaps Buggs will be less likely to be so rotten with a full grown wolf staring him down. 
  But, suddenly, Bob has gone missing, and it's up to Dork Steve and his loyal friend Alex to hunt her down. As much as he would like to avoid to go, Steve knows that Bob has gone missing in a creepy abandoned village not too far from the camp site. Little do Steve and Alex know that someone – or something – is also in the village... and they have a bone to pick. 
  Abandoned Village is a page turning adventure that will engage any reader – whether they enjoy reading as a pastime or not. Just in time for the holidays, this book is a great read for children and an excellent way to spend the holiday vacation – on the edge of their seats!
