What made you decide to include therapy as a major plot point in the series? Onto the questions… Lots of superheroes have psychological trauma at their root-just think of all those murdered family members!-but one of the things I love about Silk is that Cindy is seeing a therapist to deal with her anxiety, anger, and other issues. So, thanks to you, Stacey Lee, Tana Ford, Ian Herring, and the rest of the Silk team for putting out a consistently great book! I came out of Spider-Verse a little ambivalent about Cindy Moon, but her first solo issue blew me away, and I’ve been reading ever since. I spoke with Silk‘s writer, Robbie Thompson about Cindy’s therapy process, first at C2E2, and then over email.Ĭharles Paul Hoffman: First off, I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to speak with me about Silk. Sinclair, a therapist specializing in capes and tights. For the past year, though, Marvel’s Silk has been a glorious exception, as Cindy Moon has worked with Dr.
But, while psychological studies of superheroes have become fairly standard since at least the mid-1980s, relatively few superhero comics have explored therapy as a means of dealing with trauma. Psychology has played a major part in superhero comics from the beginning after all, Wonder Woman was famously created by psychologist William Moulton Marston.
