Arlington House, 1970 - 263 pagine
The comic book must have been the greatest bargain in the world. For 10¢, you got 64 pages of colorful adventure and an array of tales more outlandish - and more exciting - than those in the Thousand and One Nights. You met a swell bunch of fellows - upright guardians of liberty and justice and freedom for all. And for a little while, you also were a masked, caped, fearless Hero. The dime comic book is no longer with us. But now you have a chance once more to gight crime alongside your favorite Caped Crusader, shiver at the though of those demonic bad guys, whisper those terrific magic formulas, and re-live the long afternoons of your childhood. Just leaf through the pages of All in Color for a Dime - the gloriously illustrated, funny, fascinating, time-stopping saga of the Super Heroes of the comic book.
