There's been a whole lot of wrestling up in here for a while now, so I'm excited to officially announce here that I've got a new book project in the offing that doesn't involve men in tights! Oh wait... it still does, but in a totally different way! It's my fifth book, and it's coming your way in late 2022 from Rowman & Littlefield, publishers of Pro Wrestling FAQ and Godzilla FAQ.
Superheroes! The History of Pop Culture's Hottest Phenomenon is a book that will take you through everything you ever wanted to know about those caped crusaders, flying vigilantes and merry mutants who have been fighting crime, battling the forces of evil and keeping the world safe for regular mortals for generations now. Whether it's their earliest origins in mythology and folklore, the comic books that defined the genre, or the movies and TV shows that bring them into our living rooms today, I'll be taking a close look at every aspect of these fascinating characters and what makes them what they are.
Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Ninja Turtles, Spawn, Thor, Iron Man, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Powdered Toast Man and The Tick--they'll all be here in all their spandexed and cowled glory! This is a project I pitched quite a while back, and I'm anxious to jump right in. I'm already researching and outlining, and will be hard at work well into next year, with the manuscript to be delivered in May. I will continue to update this page as things progress, so keep watching this page. And keep watching the skies...
