By day, the boy was firmly lodged in the respectable and decorous world of middle-class white America. At the beginning of the last century, a little boy named Nemo was haunted by recurring nightmares of a bizarre and unruly land where the conventions of everyday life were turned upside down. ![]() ![]() ![]() To contrast and compare the experiences of her interview subjects, she places them within the changing psychosocial context of the last few decades and categorizes them according to their reasons for childlessness.

In the last panel of Master Race #2 - spoiler alert) - we realize with a jolt that Bruce Wayne is still alive. He speaks to Carrie Kelly - his former Robin - while lying on his death bed, confessing that - by nature of his lifestyle - he always feared he’d die alone. Notably, the first two books in Master Race are almost entirely devoid of Batman. Book Three flashes its bat signal on February 24.
