It's a Bird! It's a Plane! No, It's a Superhero Story!

This Saturday, the JCL Arnold Branch is celebrating all things fandom with Fandemonium.  We'll have a full day of great events celebrating various fan series.  Obviously one of the biggest fan series are the different superheroes.  The library does have superhero books featuring the Marvel and DC Comics superheroes.  However, we also have some great picture books featuring unknown superheroes.  Check these out . . .
