An imagined meeting between two titanic real-life figures in the history of comics!
What might have happened if Wonder Woman's creator, Dr. William Moulton Marston -- possessed of two cohabiting wives and a serious promoter of the benefits of BDSM -- and Dr. Frederic Wertham, author of the 1954 book "Seduction of the Innocent," which claimed sex and violence were permeating comic books of the period and causing harm to the children who read them -- had sat down for drinks and conversation. In "Last Days of the Brave and the Bold," the two men discuss bondage, superheroes and fascism.
Plus
"A People's History of Super-Heroism."
Parents can put a lot of pressure on their kids to be what they want them to be and it's even worse if your parents happen to be super-heroes. "A People's History of Super-Heroism" shows how one man reacts to the pressure his super-heroic family put on him to continue their legacy of crime-fighting rather than find his own path.
