In the depths of the Depression, out of the crowded tenements of New York and Cleveland, the comic book superhero leapt into being. This book portrays how the immigrant experience and an outsider mentality shaped the vision of the make-believe hero. It demonstrates how the creators of the superheroes established their place in modern imagination.
