- Summary
- Stapinski and Siegler tell a vivacious story of two very different men both striving to make their way in New York, their lives intersecting with a glittering array of luminaries. Jules Schulback and his unlikely benefactor, DC Comics publisher (and sometime pornographer) Harry Donenfeld linked glamorous old Hollywood, the birth of the comic book, and one family's desperate attempts to flee 1930s Berlin and the Holocaust. Their lives intersect in a kaleidoscopic tale of hope and reinvention, of daring escapes and fake identities, of big dreams and the magic of movies, and what it means to be a real-life Superman. - adapted from jacket
"An exuberant true-life adventure following two very different men - a loveable huckster turned publisher of DC Comics and the man he helped escape from 1930s Berlin - as they cross paths with icons of midcentury pop culture in pursuit of the American dream"-- Provided by publisher.
