I just saw this new book called, Age Of TV Heroes: The Live-Action Adventures Of Your Favorite Comic Book Characters by Jason Hofius, George Khoury, and Alex Ross on Amazon
.
This is one I'm going to have to get for my collection if for nothing else the cover by Alex Ross. Check it out it's got George Reeves, Lynda Carter, Jackson Bostwick, and Adam West.
Buy Age Of TV Heroes: The Live-Action Adventures Of Your Favorite Comic Book Characters
According to Amazon, The Age of TV Heroes examines the history of the live-action television adventures of everyone's favorite comic book heroes, and features the in-depth stories of the actors and behind-the-scene players that made the classic super-hero television programs we all grew up with. From legendary shows like The Adventures of Superman and Batman, to the modern era of The Tick and Smallville, it's colorfully presented in vivid detail, lavishly designed with a bevy of color photographs. Included are new and exclusive interviews and commentary from Adam West (Batman), Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), Patrick Warburton (The Tick), Nicholas Hammond (Spider-Man), William Katt (The Greatest American Hero), Jack Larson (The Adventures of Superman), John Wesley Shipp (The Flash), Jackson Bostwick (Shazam!), and many more, including comments from Reb Brown, Stephen J. Cannell, Chip Kidd, Stan Lee, Noel Neill, John Romita, Alex Ross, Ilya Salkind, Lou Scheimer, Lorenzo Semple, Lyle Waggoner, and other actors, producers, and crew.
This is just too cool! 
One of the reviews says the book even has a salute to the Super Heroes Water Calvacade at Sea World in the 70's. That's one I barely remember, I've seen the ad a bunch of times on the back of some comic books I have in my collection though. This book would be great to jog some old memories.
Another review says there is a timeline in the book that goes from the 50's to the 2000's with interviews with the stars, producers, directors, and writers of a all the old TV shows.
