Grades 5-9 Krensky intersperses capsule summaries of comics mainstays with glimpses of the decades that changed the commercial desires of the audiences who read and connected with these characters. The text is intended for those with less than a passing familiarity with U.S. history and curiously summarizes events like the Great Depression and the origin story of Captain Marvel with equal dispatch.
