The Great Comic Book Heroes

In 1965, Dial Press published a single, landmark volume that gathered classic Golden Age stories of Superman and other early superheroes, edited and introduced by Jules Feiffer. The book is a nostalgic yet critical look at the birth of the superhero genre, featuring the foundational work of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster. As one of the first major reprint collections of its kind, The Great Comic Book Heroes helped spark a revival of interest in the medium's origins and remains a key historical document for fans and scholars alike.
