Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey back to the Golden Age of comics - a period that defined and shaped the course of comic books for years to come! It was a time of historical firsts: the first indestructible hero… the first female hero… the first sidekick… the first organized team of heroes. Between 1938 an 1942 alone, dozens of super-powered heroes and masked vigilantes debuted, many of whom are still being published today. Among these pioneering heroes was the first ever super-patriot- a hero with great power, strength and courage who donned the colors of the American flag, lived for democracy and protected the world from the foes of freedom. It's The Sheild! Leaping from the pages of PEP #1 in January 1940, The Sheild bested his more well-known counterpart by over a year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Superman debuted in 1938, he ushered in a string of imitators--Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Captain America. But what about the many less well-known heroes who lined up to fight crooks, super villains or Hitler--like the Shield, the Black Terror, Crimebuster, Cat-Man, Dynamic Man, the Blue Beetle, the Black Cat and even Frankenstein? These and other four-color fighters crowded the newsstands from the late 1930s through the early 1950s. Most have since been overlooked, and not necessarily because they were victims of poor publication. This book gives the other superheroes of the Golden Age of comics their due.
