About this album

Comic Book Heroes is a punchy early statement from Rick Springfield, showing the future hitmaker already fluent in bright pop-rock craft. Released in 1973, the album combines catchy melodies, guitar-driven arrangements and a youthful, slightly hard-edged energy that points toward Springfield’s later mainstream success. Its title track and songs like “I’m Your Superman” underline the comic-book hero imagery and romantic idealism that give the record its character. Coming before his 1980s breakthrough, it captures Springfield as a songwriter and performer still shaping the style that would make him a familiar name in pop rock.
