Geeks and Dreamers
|
Men of Tomorrow is the story of the superhero comic book and the men who made it happen. With the riotous color and raucous thrills of the comics themselves, Gerard Jones reveals how nerds, bullies, charlatans, crooks, ordinary men, and real life heroes dared to dream and to change the way we see our world. Rich in detail, both inspirational and heartbreaking, Jones gives poignant insight into the lives of legends like Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and the other young dreamers who showed us how to look up in the blank blue sky and half believe that a man can fly.
Jones is best known for his work in comics (including Green Lantern and Justice League), but he's also a keen historical researcher and commentator on media and culture. It's a must read for anyone interested in the history of comics and the men who dreamed them into being.
