Publisher's Review Copy related ephemera laid in. Joe's life takes a humorous turn when he encounters a scientist with a machine that can make supermen out of ordinary "joes." Tom De Haven (born 1949) is an American author, editor, journalist, and writing teacher. His recurring subjects include literary and film noir, the Hollywood studio system and the American comics industry. De Haven is noted for his comics-themed novels, including Joe Gosh, the Derby Dugan trilogy and It's Superman! . De Haven considers himself a narrative writer, and considers the storytelling style of comics to have been a major influence on his writing. As a freelance journalist, he has written criticism for publications such as The New York Times Book Review and Entertainment Weekly. De Haven's novels include the Funny Paper trilogy (consisting of Funny Papers (1985), Derby Dugan's Depression Funnies (1996) and Dugan Under Ground (2001)). The trilogy's storyline stretches from the beginnings of the newspaper comic strips in the 1890s to the 1970s. De Haven's awards include a fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and he has twice won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. [6] His novel, Depression Funnies, received an American Book Award in 1997. Dugan Under Ground received the Library of Virginia Fiction Award (also called the Library of Virginia Literary Awards). Ralph Reese (born May 19, 1949) is an American artist who has illustrated for books, magazines, trading cards, comic books and comic strips, including a year drawing the Flash Gordon strip for King Features. Prolific from the 1960s to the 1990s, he is best known for his collaboration with Byron Preiss on the continuing feature "One Year Affair", serialized in the satiric magazine National Lampoon from 1973 to 1975 and then collected into a 1976 book. Reese early in his career worked in the studio of Wally Wood, assisting on both mainstream and alternative-press comics and on trading cards. He went on to do mainly fantasy and horror illustrations for science-fiction magazines and black-and-white horror-comics magazines. He drew many fantasy, horror and science-fiction stories for Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Valiant Comics. It was a typical day in Wonder City. Joe Gosh was stuck. No job, no money, no girl, not much of a place to live, and no real prospects. Vicky Zomba, the love of his life, wouldn't look twice at him. Her mother wanted to make him a zombie. When his credit ran out he'd be sent to Mars to be a miner. He didn't want to go to Mars. What he needed was a sense of direction, an idea of what to do with his life. What he got was a bundle of junk mail that appeared out of thin air. And that gave him the idea. It was a terrific idea. He's become famous. He's make a lot of money. He'd have job security. Vicky Zomba would go out with him. It would solve all his problems. Joe Gosh was going to be a superhero. In JOE GOSH, Tom De Haven, author of the acclaimed novel FUNNY PAPERS, which The New York Times Book Review called "evocative and fun, " looks at the reality of superpowers in a truly crazy way.
