The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains by Jon Morris

The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains (Comic Book History, #2)

by Jon Morris

Every hero needs a villain. But not all villains are dangerous some are incompetent, comical, or just weird. In his follow-up to The League of Regrettable Superheroes, author Jon Morris presents over a hundred of the strangest, most stupefying supervillains to ever see print in comics. Meet D-list rogues like Brickbat (choice of weapon: poisonous bricks), Robbing Hood (steals from the poor to give to the rich), Swarm (a crook made of bees; Nazi bees), and many more. Drawing on the entire history of the medium, The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains affectionately and hilariously profiles oddball criminals from the history of comics.

I had so much fun reading this and learning about quite a few obscure (to me) villains from the Golden Age of comics (and beyond).

I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for more of these books. So informative and interesting!
