Title: Superheroes, Houdini,The Golem of Prague...
Review: Welcome to the Golden Age of Superheroes! Fueled by imagination the team of Kavalier and Clay create the Escapist, a combination of Houdini and Superman, who battles Nazis before anyone else and becomes one of the most popular superheroes ever. Michael Chabon has recreated the world of the thirties and forties, a world populated by surrealists, escape artists, radio stars and comic books. With Kavalier, a young man who escapes the Nazi occupation of Prague, and Clay, a New Yorker who escapes from an unhappy childhood, Chabon creates an endearing team. While the book loses focus when Kavalier goes to war, the total effect is one of nostalgia looked at through the eyes of a modern writer with a love for wonderful world of comics. Besides any guy who thanks Jack "King" Kirby in his acknowledgements deserves my thanks for remembering one of comics' greatest artists.
