I got this in a pile of crap from Shopgoodwill a while back. It's a coffee table book from 1992 that I never heard of. In its 200 pages, the book covers the Golden Age of super hero comics, profiles dozens of characters and dozens of titles. Some of it I knew, some I was vaguely aware of, and some of it was completely new to me. It's a fun book. Some of it is outdated but that's not a huge surprise considering it's over 30 years old now.

Another excellent book in this history of American comic book series. Tons of rare covers and a well laid out and easy to read history of this segment of comic book history. Very recommended.
