From the Publisher:
Was Superman a Spy? demystifies all of the interesting stories, unbelievable anecdotes, wacky rumors, and persistent myths that have piled up like priceless back issues in the seventy-plus years of the comic book industry, including:

  • Elvis Presley's trademark hairstyle was based on a comic book character (True)
  • Stan Lee featured a gay character in one of Marvel's 1960s war comics (False)
  • Wolverine of the X-Men was originally meant to be an actual wolverine (True)
  • What would have been DC's first black superhero was changed at the last moment to a white hero (True)
  • A Dutch inventor was blocked from getting a patent on a process because it had been used previously in a Donald Duck comic book (True)
