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 520 "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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 505 0 Harry Donenfeld -- Jules Schulback -- Superman -- Marilyn Monroe. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Donenfeld, Harry |c(Comic book publisher) 600 10 Schulback, Jules. 650 0 Immigrants |zUnited States |vBiography. 650 0 German Americans |vBiography. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. |xPublishing |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Publishers and publishing |zUnited States |vBiography. 650 0 Jews |zUnited States |vBiography. 600 00 Superman |c(Fictitious character) 610 20 DC Comics, Inc. |xHistory. 600 10 Monroe, Marilyn, |d1926-1962. 650 6 Juifs |zÉtats-Unis |0(CaQQLa)201-0013678 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Entertainment & Performing Arts. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century / Holocaust. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. |2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. |2bisacsh 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 700 1 Siegler, Bonnie, |eauthor. 776 08 |iOnline version:Stapinski, Helene. |tAmerican way |dNew York : Simon & Schuster, 2023 |z9781982171681 |w(DLC) 2022014119 852 0 |bscstacks |hPN6725 |i.S7257 2023
