John G. Hemry also writes under the name Jack Campbell and is the author of several novels, including the first and so far only legal thriller military SF series (a.k.a. “JAG” in space), which includes A Just Determination, Burden of Proof, Rule of Evidence and Against All Enemies. His latest space opera is The Lost Fleet: Dauntless (August 2006) under the Jack Campbell pen name. John loves the first Star Wars trilogy but wishes George had stopped there. He wanted to marry a woman like Leia and ended up with one who’s pretty darn close but even better. He’s also the author of the Stark’s War series and numerous short fiction stories, as well as nonfiction articles on topics like interstellar navigation. A retired U.S. Navy officer, he lives in Maryland with his wife “S” and three children.
Description
This is one essay from the anthology The Man from Krypton
Leading writers discuss, debate and celebrate the legend of Superman in this anthology, contending that his legend is a truly American myth. Superman was an immigrant with little more than the clothes on his back and raised by simple farmers, absorbing their humble values. He always chose to do the right thing, fighting for truth, justice, and the American way and represents America at its best. The in-depth analyses of the comics, films and cartoons are at turns funny, philosophical, insightful and personal, exploring every aspect of the Superman legend.
