Book Description
“Supertown is a top-flight sci-fi adventure that introduces readers to a very memorable—and relatable—protagonist in Wally Crenshaw. Paul Kupperberg blends his decades of expertise writing fun, engaging superhero comics with skillful prose to create a can't miss YA novel. This book is a blast.”—Alex Segura, author of Secret Identity “In his captivating novel, Supertown, Paul Kupperberg embraces his inner kid, the one who fell in love with comic books and superheroes. With heart and soul and a sense of humor, he brings to life that fantasy we’ve all dreamed of at one time or another: what it would feel like to become a superhero in real life!”—Michael Uslan, Originator and Executive Producer of the Batman movie franchise and author of The Boy Who Loved Batman All young Wally Crenshaw wants is to be a super, ever since he saw Hyperion and the Justice Brigade save the day in Washington, DC. But nothing ever happens in his hometown. A strange atmospheric anomaly means the internet is only on a couple of hours a day and cell phones don’t work there at all. In many ways, Crumbly-by-the-Sea, New Jersey is the town that technology forgot. And that’s exactly why a certain super has retired there, hoping never to have to risk life and limb fighting superpowered villains or inter-dimensional aliens ever again. But sleepy Crumbly-by-the-Sea is about to get a wake-up call, and things may never be the same.

Book Description
Filled with stunning artwork, this biography of comics pioneer Jack Kirby by an artist who worked closely with him is “a treasure” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer). “As a teenager, future television and comics writer [Mark] Evanier became an assistant to Jack Kirby, one of the foremost artists in the history of American comics. Kirby played a major role in shaping the superhero genre, not only through his innovative, dynamic artwork but through collaborating with Stan Lee to create classic Marvel characters like the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men. Evanier has now written this magnificently illustrated biography of his mentor. Rather than employing the academic prose that one might expect from an art book, Evanier, a talented raconteur, tells Kirby’s life story in an informal, entertaining manner . . . he brings Kirby’s personality vividly alive: a child of the Great Depression, a creative visionary who struggled most of his life to support his family. The book recounts how Kirby was insufficiently appreciated by clueless corporate executives and close-minded comics professionals. But the stunning artwork in this book, taken from private collections, makes the case for Kirby’s genius. A landmark work, this is essential reading for comics fans and those who want to better understand the history of the comics medium—or those who just want to enjoy Kirby’s incredible artwork.” —Publishers Weekly Includes an introduction by Neil Gaiman
