Golden Age Classics Amazing Man Softee (2025)

PS Artbooks presents the concluding volume of Amazing Man, the second superhero, after Superman, to have a comic book named after him). Historians credit his creation variously to writer/artist Bill Everett and art director Lloyd Jacquet, founder of The Funnies Inc., although some credit may be due to Grace Everett, who helped with research.

His powers include super strength, invulnerability and the ability to make himself disappear in a cloud of green vapor. When he turned twenty-five, after his final tests, he is sent into the world to combat crime and injustice, returning to America to become the heroic Amazing Man and his continuing battles with arch-enemy The Great Question! Collects Amazing Man #20-25 (February 1941-January 1942) and Stars and Stripes #2-6 (May-December 1941).
