They were the very definition of Saturday morning TV for kids - Superman, Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog, then the Wonder Twins and Gleek, all wrapped up in a full-color, animated package called the Super Friends. Beginning in 1973 with the original hourlong series, then continuing through the 1980s, these heroes fought for justice, putting evil criminals (and quite a few misguided scientists!) in their place and making the world safe for mankind. What child of the '70s and '80s didn't love these adventures on Saturday morning, cereal bowl in hand? And new generations of kids continue to discover the Super Friends through re-airings and DVDs. Now Will Rodgers, a lifelong fan of the Super Friends, writes this ultimate companion to the series. Volume 1 of the print edition, which covers the 1970s incarnations of the "Super Friends," offers up goodies like these: Lengthy commentary and analysis of each episode of the 1970s series Character profiles of the heroes and villains A rundown of the DVD content for each '70s series Features on the history of the five main heroes in comics and other media and on the writing style of the "Super Friends" Retrospectives of superhero teamups over the years and the history of DC and Warner Bros. classic animation (Look for Volume 2 of "The Ultimate Super Friends Companion" for the rest of the story -- the 1980s, the comics and the toylines! And for both volumes combined into one e-book, see the Kindle edition!) Will leaves no stone unturned in his heavyweight analysis of the Super Friends. Join him at the Hall of Justice for this gigantic journey into geekery. As a special treat to fans, Shannon Farnon, the original voice of Wonder Woman, writes the foreword, and talented Baltimore artist Dale Cuthbertson offers his own interpretation of our heroes for the book's cover!
