Superheroes!: Capes, Cowls, and the Creation of Comic Book Culture
Together again for the first time, here come the greatest comic book superheroes ever assembled between two covers: down from the heavens--Superman and the Mighty Thor--or swinging over rooftops--the Batman and Spider-Man; star-spangled, like Captain America and Wonder Woman, or clad in darkness, like the Shadow and Spawn; facing down super-villains on their own, like the Flash and the Punisher or gathered together in a team of champions, like the Avengers and the X-Men!
The nice thing is that good models can never go out of style, such as those Afghan shawls. Remarkably full of all the models, such shawls and capes are still very elegant and modern.
First volume in a new series for paper doll fans and costume enthusiasts traces the history of fashion. 2 dolls are accompanied by 16 accurately rendered costumes worn between 1200–1350 AD. Among them: tunics, chain-mail armor, and fur-trimmed capes for men, as well as gowns, embroidered tunics, and soft under robes for women.
