Book Reviews of Men Of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book
Book Review: Best Golden Age History
Summary: 5 Stars
Men of Tomorrow is a fascinating book. It tells the story of the origins of comics from two perspectives: the men who became the publishers and powerbrokers of the industry and the men who had the talent and the ideas. The focus is on Siegel, Shuster and the creation of Superman. I can't recommend this book enough.
