Did you know that Superman debuted in 1938 and is considered to have fuelled the birth of the superhero craze? Or that Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira was instrumental in introducing manga to the world outside of Japan?

Readers will learn these stories and more as they are introduced to the pivotal creators of comics. From classic superhero tales like Spider-Man to epic fantasy adventures like Elfquest, comic books have inspired legions of devoted fans and accrue sales of over $1 billion annually. Awesome Minds: Comic Book Creators will walk kids ages 8 and up through the important milestones in comic book history and the visionaries who helped develop some of the most iconic fictional characters today. Each chapter is enhanced by full-colour illustrations, plus sidebars with time lines, fun facts, and more.
