Midwest Book Review: The Superhero Book, second edition
Now in a revised and updated edition, The Superhero Book is an encyclopedia of heroic icons from comic books and Hollywood movies. Each hero or heroine has a page or two of description, including a historical recounting of who created them and a summary of their comic or film appearances; most are also featured in a colorful photographic image. From Alpha Flight to Zorro, The Superhero Book is a wonderfully user-friendly pop-culture reference, and perhaps also a great place to start when considering whether to follow a new superhero comic book line! An extensive introduction summarizing the different "ages" of comic books, including the Silver Age, the Golden Age, and the Modern Age rounds out this accessible reference that is just plain fun to simply browse.
