More fun to browse than to read, but there's some GOLD in here.

They are a fairly regrettable lot, although I will always have a soft spot for ROM, Spaceknight!

This was a really interesting look into Comic Book culture & the superheroes that didn’t make it to fame. It was actually quite funny, too.

What a fun read! These are the discarded superheroes of comics past, some boring, some bizarre, and some ahead of their time. Each gets about a page and some artwork, and the author does a good job of keeping his treatment of each hero from sounding monotonous. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I have never seen a greater collection of potential band names. This would make a great gift and/or coffee table book for the nerds in your life.

You have no idea what kind of insanity awaits you when you open this book.
People back then really thought, REALLY THOUGHT, some of these wacky weirdos would do as well as Superman or Spider-man. Honestly, a joy to see the do-gooders/baddies that have been lost to obscurity.

A sarcastic and surprisingly informative look into the more ridiculous of comic book creations. Great for busy parents who may only have enough time to get 1 - 2 pages of reading in at a time. Full of colorful photos and hilarious quotes, this book is quite the enjoyable read. If I had to pick a favorite? Tough call. Would it be Dr. Hormone, Thunderbunny, Rainbow Boy, Nature Boy, Mother Hubbard, Fat Man... are those villains shaking in their boots yet?

Every one of these characters could be on the Venture Bros.
