Hoping someone out there remembers this one..sorry, not a lot to go on,
When I was a kid (somewhere between 1979-85) came upon a superhero encyclopedia at a local library. Huge book, several hundred pages, tons of stuff on origin stories, etc. Think it was a large white book. Cannot remember publisher or title. It was similar to the Superhero Book by Roach and Misiroglu, but published way earlier. Already checked the library's catalog, doesn't seem to be there any longer. Would just be a cool thing to find..
TIA

I can't locate it, but I own a cartoon character encyclopedia which does include superheroes. It was given to me as a Christmas gift back then and I ~think~ it had Yellow Kid on the cover. Unfortunately it's not in the location I thought it should be so i can't tell you what it is.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. I never really liked it because it wasn't really focused on the superhero characters I liked. I received it as a Christmas gift.

I think I picked it up for about $1.50 in 1981, and disliked how it seemed to treat the Marvel and DC comics as if they were beneath the author.
