A lot of pictures but not a lot of substance

What I enjoyed about this book are the comic book covers through the sixties, the prices these comics got through various auction sites and the authors comments on his life of collecting and the superheroes. I was a child in the sixties, so it was also interesting to see the timelines of pop culture events. To see the changes that happened in such short period of time and what heroes didn’t make it. But if you took out all the colorful pages of pictures, what you are left with is really an essay. The author also added how the superheroes morphed into television and the movies. It was an easy read and not with much substance overall and I didn’t really learn anything new. I still enjoyed it but wouldn’t add it to my library.
