Product Description: Lavishly illustrated with thousands of charts, checklists and color photographs, Mego 8" Super-Heroes is an obsessive examination of legendary toy company Mego (pronounced "ME-go"), and the extraordinary line of super-hero action figures that dominated the toy industry throughout the 1970s. Featuring a chronological history of Mego, interviews with former employees and Mego vendors, fascinating discoveries never revealed elsewhere, and thorough coverage of each figure and packaging variant, this full-color hardcover is the definitive guide to Mego. Brad Meltzer, New York Times-bestselling author and writer of DC's Justice League of America raves, "I've waited thirty years for this magical, beautiful book." And Chip Kidd, internationally-recognized graphic designer and author of Batman Collected, deemed it "a stunning visual experience." Written by Benjamin Holcomb.
EXCELLENT BOOK! I came into the Mego world a bit late as a wee lad in the early 1980s. But I still remember having the Batman, Stretch Spidey, Dukes of Hazzard, and Incredible Hulk Mego action figures. This book really takes me back to those glory days!
This book is a Mego collector's dream guide! Full of charts, checklists, rare photos and more. Extremely thorough and well researched, if you are a Mego fan, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!
mego super-heroes A good looking and very informative book full of great photos of the Mego super-hero figure toy line. It's a must for any Mego toy collector and well worth the price of admission!
Mego Lives! This book does not cover everything Mego, but its a wonderful collection of photos and important information. I recommend the book for any Mego collector.
A Must Have!!! Simply put this is a fantastic book. It is a walk down memory lane for Mego fans who had the pleasure to grow up with these wonderful action figures in the 1970s. The photographs are splendid and bring to life Mego's WGSH line. The author's attention to detail cannot be matched by any other book out there that purports to touch upon this fine line of Mego action figures. If you are debating between Mego books to buy, please don't pass this book up. It is a decision you will regret a year or so from now when you are trying to track down this book from online auction sites, etc. For anyone looking for a wonderful trip into the past, jump on and enjoy the ride!!!
Fun look at memorabilia. I had all of the items shown in the book as a kid so paging through it was a big trip down memory lane. It reminded me of a lot of fun times.
