Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Very fun read that gathers together a lot of now public domain characters from the pulps & Golden Age comics. Is it a great and original plot? Nah. It wouldn't be pulpish if it were, but there are fun cameos and surprises for fans old and new, making this worth picking up. My biggest complaint was the presence of so many characters on stage that very few got the development or spotlight they deserved beyond the Shadow. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Before Superheroes, there were Masks! The Shadow. The Green Hornet and Kato. The Spider. In 1938, these masked vigilantes operated outside the law, working independently to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers. But when the corrupt politicians of the Justice Party transform New York into a fascist state run by mobsters, when an oppressive regime grants jack-booted storm troopers free rein to imprison, extort, and execute the innocent, when the law itself becomes unjust -- justice must be served by outlaws! Outnumbered and outgunned, the legendary vigilantes emerge from the shadows to fight, joined by Zorro, the Green Lama, Miss Fury, Black Terror, and the Black Bat! Nine renowned pulp heroes, brought together for the first time in an epic conflict of Law vs. Justice!. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

This is my favorite sort of superhero (mask) storyline. I love watching what happens when heroes take the law into their own hands. Do they remain heroes or do they become villains? I especially like the contrast between the various masked heroes in the way they approach law and justice: this book gives us nearly the full spectrum from the very good to the very bad, and shows us that often it's all a matter of opinion.
My favorite character was The Shadow. He, for me, stands on the line between good and evil, clinging to his ideals of justice and going much further to enforce them than others would.
