"AMERICAN DAREDEVIL PROVIDES A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE HISTORY OF
COMICS, AND AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIONEERS
OF THE AMERICAN COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY. [...] AT A TIME WHEN FASCISM
NO LONGER SEEMS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PAGES OF HISTORY TEXTBOOKS, WE
CAN TAKE SOME INSPIRATION FROM GLEASON, WHOSE ANTI-FASCIST ACTIVISM
WAS NOT CONFINED TO HIS COMICS." - LEONARD RIFAS, COMIC BOOK
ARTIST, HISTORIAN, TEACHER, AND AUTHOR, KOREAN WAR COMIC BOOKS
"Comic books tell legends of heroes that stand up and do the right
thing. Lev Gleason was not only an early publisher of these
stories, he was a superhero in his own right. His story deserves to
be told, and Dakin does so here in an informative, entertaining
manner." - Anthony Del Col, writer, Luke Cage, Kill Shakespeare,
and Son of Hitler
"American Daredevil pulls Lev Gleason out of the shadows of history
and places him in the well-deserved spotlight as one of the
founding fathers of the comic book industry."- Michael Uslan, comic
book historian and producer, Joker, The Spirit, Justice League, and
the Batman films
