Description: Holy phenomenon! In the way-out year of 1966, the action comedy "Batman" starring Adam West premiered and triggered a tsunami of super swag, including toys, games, Halloween costumes, puppets, action figures, and lunch boxes. Meanwhile, still more costumed avengers sprang forth on TV ("The Green Hornet," "Ultraman"), in movies ("The Wild World of Batwoman," "Rat Pfink and Boo Boo"), and in animation ("Space Ghost," "The Marvel Super Heroes"). "Zowie!" traces the history of the superhero genre from early films, through the 1960s TV superhero craze, and its pop culture influence ever since. This 192-page hardcover, in pop art colors that conjure the period, features interviews with the TV stars (West, Burt Ward, Yvonne Craig, Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Julie Newmar, Van Williams), the artists behind the comics (Jerry Robinson, Dick Sprang, Carmine Infantino, Joe Giella), and others. Written and designed by Mark Voger ("Monster Mash," "Holly Jolly"), "Zowie!" is one super read!
