The Human Behind the Hero

Most superheroes have an alter ego. Some, like
Superman's Clark Kent, work a day job. Or, like Star-Lord's Peter Quill, they
might fly around the galaxy when not saving it. But the superheroes on movie
screens are played by talented men and women who work hard to look and sound
exactly right to play both the hero and alter ego. This set takes readers behind
the scenes of these actors' lives, from their beginnings on screen to the
preparation they went through to become our favorite heroes. Full-color images
showcase incredible transformations, costumes, and more.
