External Reviews
"Why are people fascinated with comics? Why the appeal? This book answers these questions, and shows how comic characters have influenced and been influenced by culture, especially in North America. You'll learn about the creators of Superman, the Marvel characters and a host of other creative geniuses who have encouraged us to take a break from reality and enjoy the world where superheroes fight for right and justice.
The book is a fun read, with lots of interesting trivia and surprises. A great look at the philosophy behind, and people's need for, superheroes. Great reading!" - Goodreads Review.
