The Great Comic Book Heroes, Golden Age goodness! Edited by Jules Feiffer
When I was an impressionable kid, I would spend hours pouring over the books at my local library. One book in particular I would come back to again and again and again. It was The Great Comic Book Heroes edited by Jules Feiffer.
The Great Comic Book Heroes was a
distillation of the dawn of the superhero comics in the early 1940’s.

Wonder Man / Wonder Woman - Power man / Power Girl
In October of 1964 Stan Lee introduced the new character to the Avengers; Wonder Man!
In the story he was created by the Masters of Evil to destroy the Avengers. The Avengers took him in as a full member but at the end of the issue, rather than betray the Avengers trust in him, he decided to sacrifice his own life to save them.
Well it seems that DC didn't like the name of Wonder Man. It was too close to their own very popular Wonder Woman so DC threatened a law suit against Marvel.
