The description mentioned something about his tragic life ... it should be good reading. I pre-ordered it as well. Binder created a lot of DC classic characters.

Otto Binder had a daughter who was hit by a car when she was a teenager. She was an only child and she didn't survive, so that must be the tragedy which they're talking about.

Hey, Cramer! (--and anyone else who may've ordered or be interested in checking this out... [Smile] )

Keep an eye out for this... I just got my copy today from DCBS. I've only had a chance for a cursory leaf-thru, but there's alot of black and white artwork and pictures, as well as a glossy color cover gallery spanning OB's published works. I think I'm going to enjoy this... [Smile]

(And I saw at least one mention of the Legion, so all you AR collectors HAVE to get this! NYAH! [Razz] [Wink] )

I was planning on picking this up, Legion or no Legion.

I'll probably wait until San Diego, though, when I'll have the money to burn and the inclination to burn it.

I did get this book. Binder was quite an interesting character himself, with a lot of different ideas. He wrote science fiction before getting into comics and I believe he scooped Asimov on the robot-human interaction stories by several years. Although we associate robots with Asimov today, his series was enormously popular at the time.
