Sinopse
This is how it all began: From the Man of Steel to Batman and Wonder Woman: the super
hero is born
In June of 1938,
Action Comics
debuted with a new kind of comic book character on its cover: a costumed man with two
identities, who possessed extraordinary strength and powers-a man able to protect the
public when ordinary measures would not do. He was not the first super hero, but the Man
of Steel would become the prototype for all super heroes thereafter. Supermans story, and
those of Batman, Wonder Woman, and hundreds of other DC Comics characters, are all told in
The Golden Age of DC Comics
. The single most comprehensive book on the subject, this volume traces the companys
first decades, from its pulp origins up to the comic book burnings of the McCarthy 50s in
more than 400 pages bursting with comics, art, comics, photographs, and more comics.
Also included is an exclusive interview with legendary artist Joe Kubert!
