1st printing. By Bill Schelly. In this fascinating biography, comic book historian Bill Schelly chronicles the life of Otto Binder, from pulp magazine author to writer of Supergirl, Captain Marvel, and Superman. As the originator of the first sentient robot in literature ("I,Robot," published in Amazing Stories in 1939 and predating Isaac Asimov's collection of the same name), Binder's effect on science fiction was profound. Through comic panels, personal letters, and interviews with Binder's own family and friends, Schelly weaves together Binder's professional successes and personal tragedies, including the death of Binder's only daughter and his wife's struggle with mental illness. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 264 pages, PC/B&W. Cover price $19.95.
