HERO GETS GIRL! The Life and Art of Kurt Schaffenberger is the story of the preeminent Lois Lane artist and important early Captain Marvel artist who brought a touch of humor and whimsy to super-hero comics! This profusely illustrated biography covers Kurt's life from his entry into comics in the 1940s to his passing in 2002, featuring hundreds of never-before-published photos and illustrations, and is produced with the full cooperation and participation of the late artist's wife Dorothy. In it, Schaffenberger is also recalled by family, friends and fellow artists such as Murphy Anderson, Will Eisner, Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert, Alex Ross and Mort Walker-just a handful of the top comics professionals who were influenced by or worked with this comics genius. Written by columnist Mark Voger, a Schaffenberger friend for the final 13 years of the artist's life, HERO GETS GIRL! is an intimate human portrait that is a must-read for any superhero fan. With a foreword by Ken Bald.
