Объектом анализа выступают репрезентации президента США в выпусках лидеров индустрии печатных супергеройских комиксов, предметом   – механизмы критики института президентства. Методология исследования построена на семиотическом и иконологическом анализе визуального материала, для введения исторического контекста используется дискриптивный метод, конструкции образа анализируются с помощью киноведческого инструментария (анализа драматургии, ракурсов, монтажных приемов). Комикс о супергероях в  1980-х   гг. последовательно деконструирует образ президента, в частности его медийную компоненту. В  статье впервые выявляются кинематографические клише, которые используют авторы комиксов в построении критического нарратива о Рейгане, анализируются способы реализации мотива о марионеточной природе института президентства и репрезентации политики в отношении СССР. Автор приходит к выводу, что к концу 1980-х   гг. в супергероике был сформирован устойчивый набор приемов и репертуар сюжетов для критических оценок президента США.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The aim of the study is to determine the specifics of criticism of a politician and the institution of the presidency in popular culture using the example   of   the   critique  of   Ronald  Reagan  in   the   comics   during   his  tenure.  The  object of the analysis is the representation of the US President in the issues of the industry leaders of print superhero comics; the subject is the mechanisms of criticism of the institution of the presidency. The research methodology is based on a semiotic and iconological analysis of the visual material; a descriptive method is used to introduce the historical context. The image structures are analyzed using the film studies tools (analysis of dramaturgy, camera angles, film   editing).   The superherocomic   book  from  the   1980s  consistently  deconstructs the image of the President, and particularly, the media component of that image. The article for the first time identifies the cinematic clichés that the   comic   book  authors  use  in the construction   of   a  critical  narrative   about Reagan, analyzes the ways of implementing the motive of the puppet nature of the institution of the presidency and studies the representation modes of the policy towards the USSR. The author concludes that by the end of the 1980s, a steady  set of  techniques  and  a repertoire of  plots for the  critical assessment  of  the US President had been formed in the superheroics.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Рейган</kwd><kwd>комикс</kwd><kwd>кинематографические клише</kwd><kwd>СССР</kwd><kwd>институт президентства</kwd><kwd>супергерои</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Reagan</kwd><kwd>comics</kwd><kwd>cinematic clichés</kwd><kwd>USSR</kwd><kwd>institute of the presidency</kwd><kwd>superheroes</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда №  22-18-00305, https://rscf.ru/project/22-18-00305/ «Образы врага в  массовой культуре холодной войны: содержание, современная рецепция и  использование в символической политике России и США».</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This  work was supported by the  RussianScience	Foundation	under Grant №  22-18-00305, https://rscf.ru/en/project/22-18-00305/ “The images of enemy in Cold War popular culture: their content, contemporary reception and  usage in Russian and U.S. symbolic politics”.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">≪Враг номер один≫ 2023 – ≪Враг номер один≫ в символической политике кинематографий СССР и США периода холодной войны / Под ред.
