Ron Adams’s “Flashback: Monsters, Music, and Comic Books” is a love letter to lifelong devotees of 1960s rock music … 1930s-1960s horror / science fiction movies … and 1960s-1970s comic books.
Complementing the well-written text of this memoir are page-upon-page of images from Ron’s youth: movie posters and stills, family snapshots, comic book covers, and advertisements for related playthings. “Nostalgic” is too mild a word to describe “Flashback.” The warmth this book radiates is more delightful than any nostalgic work I’ve ever read.
Albert Einstein may have decreed that time travel to the past is impossible … but Einstein never read Ron Adams’s “Flashback.” This book whisks the reader back to an era where adult responsibilities do not yet exist and where daydreams of superhero comics and monster movies can alleviate some of the pain of growing up.
Bravo, Ron Adams. Bravo.
