Welcome to the CAMP AGE, when spies liked their wars cold and their
women warm, good guys beat bad guys with a pun and a punch, and Batman
shook a mean cape. HERO-A-GO-GO celebrates the camp craze of the
Swinging Sixties, when just about everyone--the teens of Riverdale, an
ant and a squirrel, even the President of the United States--was a
super-hero or a secret agent. Back Issue magazine and former DC Comics
editor MICHAEL EURY takes you through that coolest cultural phenomenon
with this all-new collection of nostalgic essays, histories, and theme
song lyrics of classic 1960s characters like Captain Action, Herbie the
Fat Fury, Captain Nice, Atom Ant, Scooter, ACG's Nemesis, Dell's
super-Frankenstein and Dracula, the "split!" Captain Marvel, and others!
Featuring interviews with Bill Mumy (Lost in Space), Bob Holiday (It's a
Bird ... It's a Plane ... It's Superman), Ralph Bakshi (The Mighty
Heroes, Spider-Man), Dean Torrence (Jan and Dean Meet Batman), Ramona
Fradon (Metamorpho), Dick DeBartolo (Captain Klutz), Tony Tallarico (The
Great Society Comic Book), Vince Gargiulo (Palisades Park historian),
Joe Sinnott (The Beatles comic book), Jose Delbo (The Monkees comic
book), and many more!
