Long years ago, far from this mortal coil, a wise and powerful father made a fateful decision: to send his only son to a backward planet. There, he was raised by an earthly mother and father, exhibiting signs of the supernatural power he commanded as his birthright, until, finally, he reached adulthood and embarked on his mission: the salvation of the people of Earth. Then he stepped forward, performing miracles that made it clear that he was someone special. Someone godlike.
The year when this savior began his ministry was not, incidentally, circa CE 25. It was, rather, the year 1938.
And the savior's name was not Jesus.
It was Kal-El.
You probably know him better as Superman. |

C'est tiré de Holy Superheroes, exploring the sacred in comics, graphis novels and films, de Greg Garrett.
Derrière ce titre se trouve une analyse des comics de toutes les époques, et plus particulièrement sur Superman (j'en suis à la moitié). C'est facile à lire, intéressant et accessible à tous (il faut juste un peu de connaissances au niveau de l'anglais). Je le recommande à quiconque s'intéresse à la religion ou les comics ou les deux.
Ce n'est pas tout à fait du recensement mais plus un étude de cas avec une réflexion derrière.
