“Kavalier and Clay” is based on the history of the Golden Age of comic books, and its titular protagonists - Czech immigrant Josef Kavalier and his cousin Sammy Clayman - are inspired by several real-life comic creators of the era, particularly Siegel and Shuster, Simon and Kirby, and Steranko. More than a decade actually, since it was first prescribed essential reading. For years people have been telling me to read Michael Chabon’s “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.” But although I make my living recommending books, too many people telling me something is going to be my favourite thing ever is a total turn-off.
