Nobleman, Marc Tyler and illustrated by Templeton, Ty Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman 48 pgs. Charlesbridge, 2012. $10.76. (Rating: G)
This is the biography of a man hidden in the shadows! He was the co-creator of batman from its inception, including plot and design. But he never got any credit, and never pushed for it. Fans wanted him to be acknowledged and his story to be told.
I think this book will be a hit for assigned biography projects. Students may or may not know the credited creator “Bob Kane” but they will love to read more about this forgotten one, and especially more about Batman and the creation of the character and story.
