Download or read book The Comic Book Heroes written by Will Jacobs and published by Crown. This book was released on 1985 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of modern costumed-hero comic books, from the start of the Silver Age in 1956 up to today. Focusing on DC and Marvel Comics, the story begins with the efforts of DC to revitalize such Golden Age heroes as the Flash, Superman, and Green Lantern in the wake of the anti-comic furor of the early 1950s. The authors cover the science fiction rage of the late 1950s, the birth of the experimental Marvel Comics Group in 1961, the emergence of such classic Marvel characters as the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, the "camp" craze set off by the "Batman" TV show in 1966, and the socially conscious and politically relevant comics of the early 1970s. Later chapters describe the slump of the mid-1970s, as the medium lost touch with its young readers, followed by the comics' resurgence of the 1980s, as many new companies help DC and Marvel to extend the boundaries of the field with innovation, daring, and a new sophistication. Factually thorough and written in a lively, narrative style, this history includes behind-the-scenes glimpses at the men who wrote, drew, and published the comics, the impact of their creations on the fans, and critical assessments of the works themselves. Illustrated throughout with examples of comic book art, The Comic Book Heroes will inform and entertain both the hardcore fan and the casual reader of this most popular of American mediums.
Download or read book The Hero of Heroes 2 written by James Prince and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For my part, I must admit it is with time and the age that wisdom allowed me to be slow to anger to accomplish Gods justice and to be worthy of the Messiah, worthy of the Word of God. The Word of God, the truth that is in my opinion the greatest power in this world is with me, and I love it with all of my heart. It is the Word of God that gives me the taste to write about it, the taste to make it known, and the taste to share it with the greatest possible number of people in this world. I strongly believe that without it, I wouldnt have too much to say or to write about. There were days and even this year when I asked myself what could have changed me to this point, and the only answer I got was that it was the Word of God that did it. But this is absolutely wonderful. To live in the kingdom of heaven, in the kingdom of Jesus, is the most wonderful thing that could happen to a human being, and this is what gives me the taste to invite people from all nations to come to join me in it. I hope with my whole heart this is what my books and my hymns to my Lord will do. This is exactly why the Messiah, Jesus, gave his life for: so we could all be this happy. May he be blessed above all men who lived on this earth! James Prince

Upon being reunited with her mother after nearly 10 years of separation, Connie, began to journal the life she experienced while living with her father.

Finding that people must process what is surpressed before healing can take place, this book is geared toward the abused, abuser, professionals who work with them and the bystander.
