A far-off planet explodes, a shot rings out in a darkened alley, a weakling becomes a he-man, a radioactive spider bites an unsuspecting boy—these are the beginnings of some of the greatest characters in the long history of comic books, set forever in stone for oncoming generations of readers to entertain and inspire them…
…or are they?
Over many decades comic book publishers have felt the crushing weight of passing years and updated and embellished their superheroes’ origins to reflect changing appetites and sensibilities on the part of not only the fans who follow them, but the writers, artists, and editors who create their adventures. In other words, when what was good for one generation no longer works for the next, something has to change!
THE OLD ORIGIN CHANGETH! sets out to tell the ongoing saga of the origin stories of six of the most popular comic book concepts of all: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man. To this end, six comic book historians tackle these stalwarts of four-color fantasies and dig down into their firmament to examine and illuminate the embroidery on the tapestries.
Featuring informative, engaging, and personable essays by Sam Agro, Michael Bailey, Thomas Deja, Joseph Dilworth Jr., Frank Schildiner, and Dan Wickline.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
