Metadocs: Anatomy of a Superhero

A single-issue series from Antarctic Press, Metadocs: Anatomy of a Superhero (2007) is a speculative medical and scientific examination of what it might take for a superpowered being to actually function in the real world. Combining comic art with textbook-style diagrams and analysis, the book dissects the biology, physics, and logistics behind classic superhero tropes. It stands as a distinctive, one-shot curiosity from the mid-2000s that applies rigorous, playful logic to the genre's most fantastical elements.
