Hero-A-Go-Go: Campy Comic Books, Crimefighters & Culture of the Swinging Sixties by Michael Eury. Order your copy today by clicking on the book cover above! Some of my favorite comic book memories of growing up in the 1960s are of characters I long thought I imagined because most traces of them have been erased from existence: • Diaper Man • Secret Squirrel • Forbush Man • Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse • And that guy who shouted “SPLIT” just before various body parts of his broke apart to punch out the bad guys! MICHAEL EURY podcast excerpt: "I'm just fascinated with the past. As our culture keeps moving forward, it's easy to forget, and I didn't want this goofy period of the 1960s to be forgotten. A few people who have read the book said, 'Oh, so there WAS a Diaper Man!'" Michael Eury, a former editor at DC Comics and long-time editor of Back Issue! magazine, apparently saw what I saw. What a relief! In his new book, Hero-A-Go-Go: Campy Comic Books, Crimefighters, & Culture of the Swinging Sixties, Eury brings all these wacky characters and many, many more in a celebration of a simpler time, when Ralph Bakshi was better known for Cuckoo Man than Fritz the Cat.
