{"product_id":"world-of-dc-comics-paperback-softback","title":"World of DC Comics - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first sustained study of the DC Comics Multiverse, this book explores its history, meanings, and lasting influence. The multiverse is a unique exercise in world-building: a series of parallel and interactive worlds with a cohesive cosmology, developed by various creators over more than 50 years.In examining DC's unique worlds and characters, the book illustrates the expansive potential of a multiverse, full of characters, histories, geographies, religions, ethnographies, and more, and allowing for expressions of legacy, multiplicity, and play that have defined much of DC Comics' output. It shows how a multiverse can be a vital, energizing part of any imaginary world, and argues that students and creators of such worlds would do well to explore the implications and complexities of this world-building technique.Andrew J. Friedenthal has crafted a groundbreaking, engaging, and thoughtful examination of the multiverse, of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of not just comics studies, but also the fields of media studies and imaginary world studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44577121370350,"sku":"9781032092706","price":33.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/world-of-dc-comics-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
