The 1940s saw the birth of many enduring superheroes like Superman,
Batman, Captain America and Captain Marvel. Outside of the
superhero genre, the golden age of comics also featured a host of
lesser-known, evil-fighting action heroes, and this book contains a
wealth of information about these heroes without capes. Covered
here are jungle heroines like Sheena, Rulah and Princess Pantha;
science fiction stalwarts including Spacehawk, Hunt Bowman and
Futura; adventurers such as Kayo Kirby, Werewolf Hunter and
Senorita Rio; and Western heroes ranging from Tom Mix to the Ghost
Rider.
When Superman debuted 1938, he ushered in a string of
imitators-Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Captain America.
But what about the many less well-known heroes who lined up to
fight crooks, super villains or Hitler, like the Shield, the Black
Terror, Crimebuster, Cat-Man, Dynamic Man, the Blue Beetle, the
Black Cat and even Frankenstein? These and other four-color
fighters crowded the newsstands from the late 1930s through the
early 1950s. Most have since been overlooked, and not necessarily
because they were victims of poor publication. This book gives the
other superheroes of the Golden Age of comics their due.
