A must for any superhero fan!
Rise of the Superheroes is a fantastic book encompassing history from the Silver Age of comics. This is a time period that I admittedly did not know all that much about, and I'm thrilled by how much this book covered and explained. There is an abundance of color artwork from the originals. It's not the most expansive, so I wouldn't use it as a definitive guide, but it's great for the coffee-table style format and for any casual fan looking to learn more about the history of superhero. It's also a pretty big, hefty book, so it's something that's more fun to have to flip through occasionally, rather than sit down and read straight through (not that you couldn't do that, of course!). Overall, I found this a really interesting, entertaining, and enlightening read and would recommend it to any superhero fan!
