5.0 out of 5 stars Return to yesteryear when heros were heros, January 22, 2000

This review is from: Golden Age Champions (Paperback)

How often do you long for those heros of yesteryear, when good and evil was clearly defined. Where all others look back to those heros and villains to truly understand the struggle of right and wrong. If you long for those kinds of heros then this is the book for you. as a source book the information is grand, almost out of this world. as a champions history book it was a great read, funny and witty. Have any of your heros asked I wonder what happened to "fill in the blank" hero who fought in WW2. The golden age of champions has those answers. This book is a must have if you collect hero games, play hero games, and read hero games. This is just my 2 bit worth, in the famous words of Rob Bell: Be A Hero!
