Synopsis: The Batman TV series brought on a short lived appreciation for what became known as camp. It produce a big change in the comic field and a plethora of super-heroes flooded the maketplace. Archie Comics got back into the super-hero field and hired the co-creator of Superman to do the job. He wrote: " If television is making you yawn these days, if reading masses of type on a printed page gives you a migraine headache, if cinema spy capers are beginning to lose their zing for you, then immerse yourself in HIGH CAMP SUPER HEROES. Could a High Camper, or even a low Camper ask for more?"

Notes: Jerry Siegel says, "Some will say this book is so bad it's GREAT; Others will say Guttenberg would've smashed the printing press, had he but known! Sensational non-news! More Belmont HIGH CAMP SUPERHERO masterpieces will be swarming at you soon, soon, soon, soon..." Unfortunately it was not to be so. At just nine years old I loved this stuff! Comic books were fun when I was a kid.
