In the vein of Schulz and Peanuts, the first comprehensive literary biography of Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, creators of Superman. Drawing on ten years of research, Brad Ricca's Super Boys is the first ever full biography about Superman's creators. Among scores of new discoveries, the book reveals the first stories and pictures ever published by the two, where the first Superman story really came from, the real inspiration for Lois Lane, the template for Superman's costume, and much, much more. Super Boys is the story of a long friendship between boys who grew to be men and the standard that would be impossible for both of them to live up to. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

by David Hajdu In the years between World War II and the emergence of television as a mass medium, American popular culture as we know it was first created - in the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. No sooner had this new culture emerged than it was beaten down by church groups, community bluestockings, and a McCarthyish Congress - only to resurface with a crooked smile on its face as MAD magazine. The story of the rise and fall of those comic books has never been fully told - until The Ten-Cent Plague. David Hajdu's remarkable new book vividly opens up the lost world of comic books, its creativity, irreverence, and suspicion of authority. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

by Paul Gravett & Peter Stanbury Comic book aficionados Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury have scoured the globe to find some of the most offensive and positively strange comics that have ever been published. On every few pages is a reprint of the cover, a short summary of the book, its origins and failings, and an excerpt from the comic to get across its bad taste. The range of comics spans the world, but most were proudly published in the United States. Some of what you will find inside - Mod Love. Brother Power the Geek. Tales of the Leather Nun. Hansi: The Girl Who Loved the Swastika. Fatman the Human Flying Saucer. And many more! This irreverent, offensive, and brilliantly diabolical book is a must-have for anybody that likes to laugh. If you thought Ed Wood was bad, you've seen nothing yet! (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
