Hero-a-Go-Go!: Campy Comic Books, Crimefighters, and Culture of the Swinging Sixties

A lively nonfiction examination of 1960s pop culture, this 2017 special from TwoMorrows Publishing spotlights the campy, colorful era of comic books and crimefighters. With art by Bill Fraccio, Carl Burgos, and C. C. Beck, the single issue captures the playful spirit of the swinging sixties—from Batman’s TV-fueled craze to the wild, offbeat heroes that followed. It’s a fond, knowledgeable look at a decade when comics leaned into their most exuberant, tongue-in-cheek moments.
