According to the book description
of Parallel Universe: Theatre for Heroism, “Metropolis and Gotham City have always had watchful
guardians. Comic book civilizations are full of them—extraordinary people who choose to share their authentic gifts
to help others. Superheroes, as pop culture symbols of justice, have long been known in our law enforcement community to be
a source of inspiration and moral guidance for a life served to protect. From Superman and The Lone Ranger to our men and
women in blue, Brian Kinnaird examines the spirit of heroism and the human instinct to seek order and meaning in a dangerous
world where today’s superheroes wear a badge and gun.”
