Superheroes! is the ultimate encyclopedia about the men and women in tights who fight for what is right and the comic book phenomenon that conquered the world.
From their humble beginnings in stories created by barely grown men during a time of global war and printed on cheap paper for the entertainment of children, superheroes have evolved into a massive cultural phenomenon that has captivated millions of fans and permeated every form of media.
Encompassing early comic books, indie outliers, and the vast fictional universes managed by DC and Marvel, Superheroes! chronicles the rise of a distinctly American invention, the modern-day evolution of the myths and legends of old.
Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Captain America, X-Men, the Justice League, and the Avengers—they all represent our greatest hopes and, at times, our darkest fantasies.
Pop culture expert Brian Solomon takes us on a journey that spans the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Ages of comic book history, all the way to the Modern Age of multimillion-dollar Hollywood movies, and beyond.
Perhaps no fictional genre has endured and flourished over the past eighty years like superheroes have. In this comprehensive guide, you will learn everything you need to know about the creators who have brought these incredible characters to life: artists like Jack Kirby and Jim Lee, writers like Stan Lee and Alan Moore, actors like Christopher Reeve and Robert Downey Jr., and directors like Tim Burton and Joss Whedon.
So, grab your cape and get ready to embark on a journey into the world of superheroes, where heroes and villains clash, and the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Up, up, and away!
