“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
