N2  - Previous studies have examined intimate partner violence (IPV) in popular culture; however, little attention has been given to the presence of domestic violence myths in comic books. Using a convenience sample taken from popular comic book series, this content analysis examines the prevalence of IPV and the myths used to justify such portrayals. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that the reinforcement of IPV through myths is clearly evident within mainstream comic books. <br><br>DISCUSSION of the negative impact of the acceptance and reinforcement of IPV myths is addressed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
