Since their emergence in 1938 comic book heroes have become imbedded in our popular culture, becoming part of our modern mythology. In each form and every generation these characters serve as cultural signposts, articulating our loftiest ideals and deep-seated anxieties. The project aims to explore the historic, creative and artistic development of the genre across multiple media and its political and social significance. The genre has been enormously successful in film, with the top 100 films accounting for approximately $13 billion in profit for the companies that produced them. The project will explore how the successful transmedia crossover further offers insight into the strategies that drive creative industries such as film, television, video games and comics. The project will work with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image to develop a Melbourne Winter Masterpiece exhibition and a series of research projects, public events and an international conference to engage both the general public and academics.

自1938年漫画英雄出现以来，他们已经融入了我们的流行文化，成为我们现代神话的一部分。在每一种形式和每一代人中，这些人物都是文化的路标，表达了我们最崇高的理想和根深蒂固的焦虑。该项目旨在探索跨多种媒体的历史，创造性和艺术发展及其政治和社会意义。这类电影在电影中取得了巨大的成功，前100部电影为制作它们的公司带来了大约130亿美元的利润。该项目将探讨如何成功的跨媒体交叉进一步提供洞察战略，推动创意产业，如电影，电视，视频游戏和漫画。该项目将与澳大利亚运动图像中心合作，举办一个墨尔本冬季杰作展览，并开展一系列研究项目、公共活动和一次国际会议，让公众和学术界参与进来。
