Super Visible: The Story of the Women of Marvel Comics

"What does a hero's journey look like when the hero in question happens to be a girl? [The authors] interviewed more than a hundred women and nonbinary Marvel contributors in search of the answer to that question. With one shared goal--to make the historically invisible work of women visible--and with unprecedented access to Marvel creators, writers, and more, Stohl, Stephens, and Schaefer set out to tell the story of the women of the 'House of Ideas' from 1939 through today, and along the way, to find the meaning of their own Marvel stories. Packed with biographies and illustrations from creators, graphical reprints and excerpts of historic Marvel comics, and exclusive interviews from acclaimed directors like Anna Boden and Cate Shortland; lauded writers such as Kelly Sue DeConnick, Eve Ewing, Rainbow Rowell, Nic Stone, G. Willow Wilson, Tini Howard, and Maurene Goo; top artists like Jen Bartel; and influential producer Sana Amanat"--
