A brief history of superheroes from the Silver Age of comics. These were the superheroes I grew up with, reading comics with the Justice League members and the Avengers was a pleasant diversion from reality. This book provides colorful art from the actual comics, as well and information about the main superheroes from DC and Marvel, as well as a brief glimpse into ones I had never heard of. I say brief because, being a detail-oriented individual, I found this book lacking. It would make a nice coffee table book, but not an authoritative edition. I am unsure of the intention of this book, other than give readers an introduction to a few superheroes, the comics and movies they inspired, and what happened with them during the 60's.
