The Superhero Book

by Gina Misiroglu

📖 The Scoop

The ultimate compendium to everyone's favorite participants in the eternal battle between good and evil! Profiles of more than 1,000 mythic superheroes, icons, and their place in popular culture.

Superhuman strength. Virtual invulnerability. Motivated to defend the world from criminals and madmen. Possessing a secret identity. And they even have fashion sense--they look great in long underwear and catsuits. These are the traits that define the quintessential superhero. Their appeal and media presence has never been greater, but what makes them tick? their strengths? weaknesses? secret identities and arch-enemies? The Superhero Book: The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Comic-Book Icons and Hollywood Heroes is the comprehensive guide to all those characters whose impossible feats have graced the pages of comic books for the past one hundred years.

From the Golden and Silver Ages to the Bronze and Modern Ages, the best-loved and most historically significant superheroes--mainstream and counterculture, famous and forgotten, best and worst--are all here:

  • The Avengers
  • Batman and Robin
  • Captain America
  • Superman
  • Wonder Woman
  • Captain Marvel
  • Spider-Man
  • The Incredibles
  • The Green Lantern
  • Iron Man
  • Catwoman
  • Wolverine
  • Aquaman
  • Hellboy
  • Elektra
  • Spawn
  • The Punisher
  • Teen Titans
  • The Justice League
  • The Fantastic Four
  • and hundreds of others.

    Unique in bringing together characters from Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse, as well as smaller independent houses, The Superhero Book covers the best-loved and historically significant superheroes across all mediums and guises, from comic book, movie, television, and graphic novels. With many photos and illustrations this fun, fact-filled tome is richly illustrated. A bibliography and extensive index add to its usefulness. It is the ultimate A-to-Z compendium of everyone's favorite superheroes, anti-heroes and their sidekicks, villains, love interests, superpowers, and modus operandi.

    Genre: Young Adult Fiction / Comics & Graphic Novels / Superheroes (fancy, right?)
