Super Weird Heroes Preposterous But True!

Description

Weirdness from A-Z! Airmale to The Zebra! This large format book of full comic stories follows on the terrific success of Super Weird Heroes: Outrageous But Real!

Here’s a new tome crammed with OMG, WTH, and LOL bizarro heroes of the Golden Age.

Eisner-winner Craig Yoe provides both witty and fascinating context to heroes like Mr. Whiskers (a young actor who dresses like an old geezer), Hip Knox (who has an eye-ball on his chest and what looks like a woo-woo on his belt), and Pat Parker War Nurse (who fights Nazis in a skimpy nurse/superhero costume)!

Over 30 full comic stories in all!
