Buffalo Bill Superhero November 6, 2012

Born on February 26, 1846, William F. Cody, the man, became Buffalo Bill, the superhero, in the nearly 2,000 dime novels published during and after his lifetime. As vividly illustrated on their covers, Buffalo Bill confronted ancient evils, unusual villains, and situations no ordinary mortal could manage. This helped lay the groundwork for Superman, Batman and many other superheroes that would come later.
