'Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked'

[Endur]

I thought it was very good.

They did a good job of putting the different years in perspective. The pre-WW2 era, creators of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Submariner, Torch, Bulletman, Plastic Man, Captain Marvel, Spirit, WW2, post WW2 golden age, Superman vs. Capt Marvel, 1950's and the Comic Code, revival of heroes in the 1960s, Fantatic Four, The Hulk, Spiderman, Batman TV show, Sterenko, Nick Fury, Neal Adams Batman\GL\GA, Drugs, Superman Movie, Daredevil, Electra, Sandman, Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, The Punisher.

I missed some of the 90's stuff. But the show seemed very good. I agree that the non-heroes stuff wasn't covered, but that is expected.

It was mostly stuff that I already knew, but some of the trivia was interesting.

I caught the last thirty minutes of it and I enjoyed it quite a bit except for one part. I convinced my mom to read Watchmen recently and she's about a third of the way through it. She was watching the program with me and they revealed the ending! I know it's eighteen years old now, but it ruined a big part of it for her. She's still enjoying it, but I know that the first time I read it I was blown away by the ending and I wouldn't have wanted it revealed to me ahead of time. Oh well, it was still a pretty good show.

I don't think he designed it but used it for reseach.

Actually he did help invent it.
