Superfolks
''Superfolks'' (also ''Super-Folks'' in its original cover art) is a 1977 novel by Robert Mayer (hb ISBN 0-207-95814-9, pb ISBN 0-417-05460-2). The novel satirizes the superhero and comic book genres, and was aimed at a more adult audience than those genres typically attracted.
''Superfolks'' also examines comic book conventions and clichés from a more serious, "literary" perspective. The novel was influential on many writers of superhero comic books in the 1980s and 1990s, notably Kurt Busiek and Grant Morrison, the latter of whom brought the novel back to prominence in 1990 when he suggested that it had been a major influence on Alan Moore's ''Watchmen'', ''Marvelman'', and ''Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?'', a claim Moore has generally downplayed. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alan Moore and Super Folks, A Case for the Defense )〕
==Publication history==
A modest success upon publication (also featured as a special book club edition), ''Superfolks'' eventually fell out of print. It was republished in 2003 in limited quantities by About Comics with a new cover by ''Watchmen'' artist Dave Gibbons and an introduction by Busiek. It reprinted again in March 2005 by St. Martin's Griffin with a new cover by Mike Allred and an introduction by Grant Morrison (ISBN 0-312-33992-5).
