The text, written with affection and humor, gives creative and commercial background on such personalities as Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, and others, supplemented by b&w film stills and color photos of comicbook covers. The type is set with space-consuming extra leading that seems appropriate to the essential lightness of the subject matter, and the slick paper stock and lively design promote the entertainment value of the book and its contents. A select filmography and a bibliography are included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
