I was so taken with this book of comic super villains, I purchased several copies to give as gifts. I also purchased the “hero†book in this series as well. I think that giving both books makes for a great history of some (not so) lamented comic book characters of the past.The book is broken into three parts: The Golden Age, The Silver Age and The Modern Age. The Golden Age spans the years 1938 through 1949. The Silver Age covers 1950 through 1969. Finally, The Modern Age is from 1970 through the present (i.e., when the book was published 2017.)Not surprisingly, most of the regrettable villains are from the Golden Age. One of my favorites from this time period is Colossus A.D. 2640. The villain is set in the future and it is future where illegal steroids can do terrible and mighty things. Sadly, there was only one book so the end of the story has never been told.I've enjoyed comic books throughout my life and have quite a few saved from my childhood and from when my children were young. I must admit that I don't have any of the books shown in this book (though I was only getting comics very late in The Silver Age and in The Modern Age.) I think this book and its companion make a great addition to my small collection.
Do you watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftraxx? Does watching Ed Wood movies give you enjoyment? Do you find joy in the bad? This book is for you.Anyone who loves comics and comics history should pick up this book. While most reference books covers the great stories, the best villains, this book delights in failures of comics book creations. Written with snark but still lovingly so. This book contains synopsis, illustrations and publishing information. It's a fun and light read.Now the only three negatives I can see. The Kindle Layout has much to be desired. Too much white space and bad text flow. The information on the creators may just be for the entire series, not for the story in which the characters appear in. Third it doesn't feel comprehensive. There seems to be a few more they could have added.But over all it is great!
I actually bought this for my husband's birthday and he loved it. We laughed for hours at some of the truly bizarre super heroes from comics of the past. Some I would never have believed were real and not a joke if I hadn't seen it. There is a lot in this book, many characters and info and anyone into comics, art or retro kitsch would like it. Arrived fast and in fine shape. Would love to see more of this type of thing.
Really fun read for any comic-book fan—especially kids from more modern times, who aren't at all familiar with sillier villains from more obscure comics. The book itself is neat as well: the hardback covers are printed so they look a little aged and torn at the edges. Villains are divided into three big chapters (Golden, Silver, and Modern ages), with each one getting a full-page illustration and another page of history.
Bought this along with "Regrettable Superheroes" for my son-in-law who has a PhD in Medieval English but is a HUGE superhero nerd. He thought it was the greatest gift ever. What I like about it is that the villains and superheroes aren't just made-up for this book, they are actual characters who were published and these books give you the history on them.
Like the first Legion of Regrettable this volume is amazingly pretty and fantastically funny. Buy it and spend hours laughing and sharing silly stories you learn with friends.
A companion to the legion of regrettable superheroes, this book is just as fun and nutty. They only thing that could make either volume better, would be more illustrations. Read this and have fun!
Just like its predecessor, full of wit. A book that celebrates the odd and painful end of comics while offering up a succinct history of the medium.
