Seven Soldiers of Victory, The - Archives, Volume 1 (Seven Soldiers of Victory Archives)
Grade 5 Up-Why have one superhero when you can have eight? That's the question DC Comics asked when they launchedThe Seven Soldiers of Victory(Yes, there were eight members of the Seven Soldiers of Victory) over 50 years ago. Now being reprinted for a new generation of readers, this brilliantly bound collection of the first four issues of "Leading Comics" shows what the golden age of the field was all about. The dialogue might seem a little hokey to modern readers, but the illustrations make up for it. The only disadvantage is that less hardcore fans will not know who the characters are and pass the comic off as cheesy and archaic.-Scott La Counte, Anaheim Public Library, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
