THE LEAGUE OF REGRETTABLE SUPERHEROES: HALF-BAKED HEROES FROM COMIC BOOK HISTORY
Book ID/图书代码： 11186014B72742
English Summary/英文概要： A fun, funny, and affectionate look at the strangest superheroes to ever appear in comics, some so hilariously odd that it’s hard to
beleive they were ever published. Featuring vintage comic book art, with equally colorful commentary from a die-hard comic book blogger
and cartoonist, The League of Regrettable Superheroes is a different window into the superhero pheomenon that’s become so prevalant in
movies, television and pop culture.For every Batman or Spiderman who hit the big time with a blockbuster movie, there are countless failures, also-rans, and D-listers. Some were shockingly ill-conceived,some were hilariously off-target, and some were just...mind-numbingly weird. And now,
finally, these long-forgotten heroes will get their day in the sun. The League of Regrettable Superheroes presents one hundred of the strangest superheroes to ever see print, complete with backstories, vintage art, and colorful commentary from author Jon Morris. Within these pages, you’ll meet heroic characters like Captain Tootsie (Tootsie Roll spokeshero) Bee Man (like Batman, but with bees!), Squirrel Girl (a rare bright spot
in comics’ darkest hours), Prez (America’s groovy teenage president/vampire fighter) and Skateman (roller-skated avenger in a pre-Rollerblade world).
The League of Regrettable Superheroes celebrates the artistic trainwrecks that can
only happen in the anything-goes world of comics, where a creative misfire can produce entertainingly bizarre results. Drawing on the entire history of the medium, the book includes characters that haven’t seen the light of day in decades, pulling from defunct and long-forgotten comics publishers as well as DC and Marvel. Author Jon Morris,cartoonist and founder of the comic book blog Gone and Forgotten, provides insight and
context, as well as curation, for this astonishing roster of not-ready-for-prime-time heroes.
Must-have collection for comics readers; perfect gift for fans of comics,cartooning, and pop culture.
A hilarious but affectionate look at forgotten superheroes who are strange even by comic book standards.
Browseable format with pithy page-length entries for each featured
character as well as boxes, lists, and sidebars.
A lively, fun design that plays with the comic book format and includes vintage comic book art.
Written by a comic book blogger who has deep knowledge of and affection for the genre.
Will appeal to both casual comics readers and diehard fans.

《令人遗憾的超级英雄的联盟》赞美了只可能发生在漫无顾忌的漫画世界的艺术碰撞，在漫画世界中一个创造性的失火可以产生有趣的离奇结果。本书借鉴了整个漫画史，书中介绍了几十年来没有见过光的人物，消失和遗忘已久的漫画出版商以及DC和Marvel。作者乔恩??莫里斯是漫画家和漫画博客”消逝和遗忘“的创始人，为这份令人惊讶的但不是黄金时间的英雄名单提供了洞察力和背景以及策展。
