In time for the 75th anniversary of the Man of Steel," " comes the
first comprehensive literary biography of Joe Shuster and Jerry
Siegel, creators of the DC Comics superhero "Superman" and the
inspiration for Michael Chabon's "Kavalier and Clay
" Drawing on ten years of research in the trenches of Cleveland
libraries, boarded-up high schools, and secret, private
collections, and a love of comic books, Brad Ricca's "Super Boys"
is the first ever full biography about Superman's creators. Among
scores of new discoveries, the book reveals the first stories and
pictures ever published by the two, where the first Superman story
really came from, the real inspiration for Lois Lane, the template
for Superman's costume, and much, much more." Super Boys" also
tracks the boys' unknown, often mysterious lives after they left
Superman, including Siegel's secret work during World War II and
never-before-seen work from Shuster.
"Super Boys" explains, finally, what exactly happened with the
infamous check for $130 that pulled Superman away from his
creators--and gave control of the character to the publisher. Ricca
also uncovers the true nature of Jerry's father's death, a crime
that has always remained a mystery. "Super Boys "is the story of a
long friendship between boys who grew to be men and the standard
that would be impossible for both of them to live up to.
