{"product_id":"amazing-man-volume-2-hardcover","title":"AMAZING MAN Volume 2 Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe concluding volume of \u003ci\u003eAmazing\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMan\u003c\/i\u003e, the second super-hero (after Superman) to have a comic book named after him. Everett drew all the early stories, but by this point, he'd moved over to Timely and Eastern. But \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Gustavson\u003c\/strong\u003e, who created The Angel for Timely in the first issues of \u003cem\u003eMarvel Mystery, \u003c\/em\u003etook over and does a fine job. Then the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eSam Glanzman\u003c\/strong\u003e draws several of the stories. Glanzman is best known today for his war comics work for Charlton, which have been compiled in at least two major collections.\n\nIn 1914, an orphaned child named John Aman was chosen by the Tibetan Council of Seven and trained to be a superman, both in mental and physical perfection. His powers include super strength, invulnerability and the ability to make himself disappear in a cloud of green vapor. When he turned twenty-five, after his final tests, he was sent into the world to combat crime and injustice, returning to America to become the heroic Amazing Man with his continuing battles with arch-enemy \"The Great Question!\"\n\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by upstart Centaur, this series has always been very difficult to find and has never before been reprinted.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nHistorians credit his creation variously to writer-artist \u003cstrong\u003eBill Everett\u003c\/strong\u003e and art director \u003cstrong\u003eLloyd Jacquet\u003c\/strong\u003e, although some credit may be due to \u003cstrong\u003eGrace Everett\u003c\/strong\u003e, who helped with research.\n\nThis completes the run of stories in \u003cem\u003eAmazing Man Comics\u003c\/em\u003e (there were backup features that are not collected here). Amazing Man was also the cover feature and lead story in \u003cem\u003eStars and Stripes\u003c\/em\u003e #2 and 3, and continued as a back-up strip in #4-6, completing all of his Golden Age appearances.
