6 | On the surface, Servant is a ComicBook/{{Superman}} analogue. However, there are also familiar elements that can be found in the origins and backgrounds of other comic book characters such as ComicBook/SpiderMan, ComicBook/TheMightyThor, ComicBook/{{Shazam}}, as well as other traditional legends and myths like Myth/KingArthur, ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh'', and [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hercules]], and even more recent works such as ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Franchise/StarWars.'' What makes the comic book unique is the exploration of the largely untapped Philippine culture and setting. |
