Here’s what MEGOMuseum had to say, “Originally released back in 2007, Holcomb’s book is regarded as the definitive guide to all things Mego.  An amazing amount of research went into this,and it covers everything a collector could ask for!  From packaging to prototypes, interviews with Mego employees, and a look at every single Mego superhero, even the ones that never made it to the toy aisle!”

Featuring a chronological history of Mego, interviews with former employees and vendors, fascinating discoveries never released elsewhere, and thorough coverage of each figure and packaging variant issued in the United States, this is the definitive guide to Mego.
