Supermen by Fantagraphics

Picked up 'Supermen' at Fantagraphics this Saturday. Full of over the top, crazy pre-WWII super heroes. Artists like Fletcher Hanks, Basil Wolverton, Eisner & Kirby.
Not always politically correct, but really goofy, imaginative stuff - highly recommended!

 

going to have to look into picking that up really enjoyed the fletcher hanks book that came out last year.

 

That looks amazing. "Twist their heads off!" Ha!

 

This is the greatest thing ever. From ridiculous origins (one of them is filled with air and thus can fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes; his only weakness is glass) to random examples of racism. This is really the greatest TP I've ever bought.

Another good one is Boody (also by Fantagraphics) and I'm looking forward to "You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation !"

Seriously, these are amazing.

 

ooooooo nice

thanks for the heads up on this - i love golden age anything

 

I picked this up from their table at Emerald City Comicon....very cool book.

 

Gotta say, not a big fan of comics, but this looks pretty awesome.

 

Comics as a storytelling medium, or super hero comics as a genre?

 

Super hero genre.

I do enjoy comics by Paul Hornschemeier or John Porcellino. Stuff like that.

 

I feel you.
