The Hoosier State

The state of Indiana is known for many things.  Of course, Indiana has a rich history with racing, the pork tenderloin sandwich and you can't forget the corn! But did you know that Indiana is also home to the world's ONLY superhero museum?  This museum is so special that even the late Stan Lee himself has visited.

Any comic book or superhero fan could easily spend all day perusing this 5,000-square-foot facility. 
This collection covers the 80 year history of superheroes in comics, toys, film, and animation. Among the items on display are several historically significant comic books, such as Captain America #1, Sensation Comics #1 (the first cover appearance of Wonder Woman), and an Amazing Fantasies #15 (the first appearance of Spider-Man) signed by Stan Lee. Our Hollywood section boasts such items as the original shield used in Captain America: The First Avenger, the Shelby Cobra from Iron-Man, the Hell Cycle from Ghost Rider, and a screen used Green Lantern ring worn by Ryan Reynolds. You’ll also find a recreation of the Bat Cave from the 1960’s Batman television series featuring Adam West’s personal Batman costume.
