Even the popular argument that superheroes are a \"modern mythology\" typically does not venture outside these limitations. Tolkien's legendarium, Lovecraft's mythos, Tennyson's revisions to Arthurian myth, and Blake's mythology don't quite fit the creative models that prevailing criticism considers in comparative studies. Nick Katsiadas explores a greater literary history of myth in comics in his examinations of Neil Gaiman's \u003ci\u003eSandman\u003c\/i\u003e, Alan Moore and J. H. Williams III's \u003ci\u003ePromethea\u003c\/i\u003e, and Mike Carey and Peter Gross's \u003ci\u003eThe Unwritten.\u003c\/i\u003e The Romantics particularly used myth to highlight ideas about the value of imagination and creativity, and Katsiadas traces how these ways of thinking about literature and the arts persisted up through twentieth- and twenty-first-century comics. In this way, \u003ci\u003eRomanticism in Comics\u003c\/i\u003e helps us better understand comics' greater literary history and, also, helps us reread and better situate Romanticism's legacy in twentieth- and twenty-first-century art forms and ways of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNick Katsiadas is an instructor in the Department of Languages, Literatures, Cultures, and Writing at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.
