Superhero actors spend months in suits they can't sit down in, acting opposite a tennis ball on a stick that's meant to be a monster. That side of the job is what this is about: the casting, the training that builds the body, the costume that does half the acting, and the odd trick of playing a mild-mannered someone and their caped alter ego at once.
It takes all of it seriously without being po-faced. There's plenty on tone, from earnest to camp, on what a ten-year contract or a sudden recasting does to a person, and on who tends to get picked to look heroic in the first place.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (144 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
