Description
Everyone knows Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. But do you know when they were created, who brought them to life, and how they have evolved over the years? The answers to all of these questions and more lie with DC, the legendary company that helped launch the “Big 3” and all the other heroes and baddies within their Super Hero universe. Packed with unique information, historical photos, and dynamic illustrations from more than eight decades of Super Hero character creation, this book gives readers a unique behind-the-scenes look at how DC brought their favorite characters to life in comic books, on TV shows, and in movies.
For ages 8-11.

Benjamin Harper lives in Los Angeles where he edits superhero books for a living.

He tends a bog garden full of carnivorous plants and also grows milkweed to help save Monarch butterflies. His other books include the Bug Girl series, Obsessed With Star Wars, Rolling with BB-8, Hansel & Gretel & Zombies, and many more.
