CLIFFHANGER! Cinematic Superheroes of the Serials (1941–1952): Hold on tight as historian Christopher Irving explores the origins of the first on-screen superheroes and the comic creators and film-makers who brought them to life.

See how the creation of characters like Superman, Captain America, Spy Smasher, and Captain Marvel dovetailed with the early film adaptations. Along the way, you’ll meet the stuntmen, directors (Spencer Bennett, William Witney, producer Sam Katzman), comic book creators (Siegel & Shuster, Simon & Kirby, Bob Kane, C.C. Beck, Frank Frazetta, Will Eisner), and actors (Buster Crabbe, George Reeves, Lorna Gray, Kane Richmond, Kirk Alyn, Dave O’Brien) who brought them to the silver screen—and how that resonates with today’s cinematic superhero universe. Preview the book, and order your copy here!

Congratulations to JON B. COOKE and ROY THOMAS for their just-announced 2023 Eisner Award nominations! Their tireless efforts have resulted in these three accolades:

Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism: 
• Alter Ego, edited by Roy Thomas (TwoMorrows)
• Comic Book Creator, edited by Jon B. Cooke (TwoMorrows)
Best Comics-Related Book: 
• The Charlton Companion, by Jon B. Cooke (TwoMorrows

Yep, Jon and Roy are gonna duke it out for Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism, and possibly split the vote (the curse of them making TwoMorrows look good by documenting so much great comics history!). But it truly is an honor just to be nominated! And all modesty aside, as publisher, I, John Morrow, knew the Charlton Companion was a shoo-in for a nomination; I mean, have you SEEN that book? If not, take a gander at its awesomeness here.
