Description
"In this compelling and intimate biography, popular culture historian Billy Schelly tell the stranger-than-fiction true story of Otto Binder, tracing his life and work from his first words written as a young man during the Great Depression, to his unprecedented success in the pulp of the '30s and '40s, tracing his life and work from his first words written as a young man during the Great Depression, to his creation of some comic books' most lasting characters, including Supergirl, Bizarro, and the Legion of Super-Heroes. A writer at Fawcett Comics and DC Comics during the peak of comic book popularity, Binder overcame his immigrant beginnings, the deprivation of the Great Depression, and devastating family tragedy to become known as a key figure in this important cultural movement, leaving behind a legacy that has inspired a myriad of today's writer and graphic artists"--Back cover.
