Meet one hundred of the strangest superheroes ever to see print, complete with backstories, vintage art, and colorful commentary. You know about Batman, Superman, and Spiderman, but have you heard of
Doll Man,
Doctor Hormone, or
Spider Queen? So prepare yourself for such not-ready-for-prime-time heroes as
Bee Man (Batman, but with bees), the
Clown (circus-themed crimebuster), the
Eye (a giant, floating eyeball; just accept it), and many other oddballs and oddities. Drawing on the entire history of the medium,
The League of Regrettable Superheroes will appeal to die-hard comics fans, casual comics readers, and anyone who enjoys peering into the stranger corners of pop culture.
