Before Watchmen, before Kingdom COme, before The Authority, there was SQUADRON SUPREME, a deconstructionist view of the super hero paradigm in a real world setting. Published before such stories became commonplace, it set the standard for post-modernist super hero fiction and influenced a generation of creators.
