{"product_id":"the-great-comic-book-heroes-2","title":"THE GREAT COMIC BOOK HEROES","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Origins and Early Adventures of the Classic Super-Heroes of the Comic Books. The definitive first edition volume on the golden age of action heroes is curated, introduced, and annotated by the unparalleled \u003cstrong\u003eJules Feiffer\u003c\/strong\u003e. It transports readers back to a time when not only \u003cstrong\u003eJerry Siegel \u0026amp; Joe Shuster's\u003c\/strong\u003e Superman and \u003cstrong\u003eBob Kane's\u003c\/strong\u003e Batman protected mythical cities from villains, but also Plastic Man, The Human Torch, and Captain Marvel fought for truth and justice.\n\nDonning their iconic masks and capes—Wonder Woman in particular, with minimal attire—these superheroes turned the 1940s into a magical era for children. Despite critiques like Frederic Wertham's infamous book, The Seduction Of The Innocent, which Feiffer examines, these comics have remained a vital part of American culture. For enthusiasts of comic history, this richly illustrated collection featuring reproductions of original strips is an indispensable addition to any library.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very Good. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe book has 3 bumped corners and yellowing pages.
