Pop culture historian Schelly (Harvey Kurtzman) traces the life of Otto Binder (1911-74), a pioneer of pulp novels and comic books in the 1930s and 1940s. Describing Binder's prolific writing career from the Great Depression to the 1970s, including successes and missteps along the way, the narrative also provides insight into the appetites of American readers in those decades. After a productive stint composing pulp sf, Binder wrote for Fawcett Comics, DC Comics, and others. He made a name for himself contributing to Captain Marvel and Superboy and later cocreating Supergirl, Bizarro, Brainiac, and the Legion of Super-Heroes. Also interweaved are both the highlights and tragedies of Binder's family life. The helpful photographs and illustrations combine nicely with the narrative to win the reader's affection for Binder. VERDICT A compelling biography of a neglected visionary certain to appeal to fans of the golden age of comics.--Paul Stenis, Pepperdine Univ. Lib., Malibu, CA
