| Summary |
Covers the whole history of comic books in America - the major creations, the major creators, the major comic book lines, the major comic book enemies. With wide knowledge, affection and a good sense for the illuminating detail, the co-authors - Les Daniels and The Mad Peck - tell the story of how comic books captured the imagination of millions and became an American institution, and whether or not they deserved to. Adjoining the text, providing an illustrated history of their own, is a large selection of complete comic book stories. No selected snippets. Full stories. |
