On Friday, June 8 at 7 p.m., A. David Lewis, a comics creator and scholar, will discuss “Graven Images: Religion in Comic Books and Graphic Novels,” which he co-edited and in which an essay centered on Superman appears. Other essays in the book consider the work of comics creators such as Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and Grant Morrison.
