A Complete History of American Comic Books

More about the book

One part history and one part how-to add up to a book that really puts the 'Pow' back into comics. (Joe Quesada, Editor-in-Chief, Marvel Comics) Shirrel Rhoades reflects on his journey through the world of comics as a reader, collector, and executive, offering a very personal perspective on a unique American art form and industry. (Paul Levitz, President and Publisher of DC Comics) It's a rare treat to read a book on this peculiar medium by a man who knows it as well, from the inside, as Shirrel Rhoades - and a fast, fun, crystal-clear book it is. (Gerard Jones, Author of 'Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangster, and the Birth of the Comic Book')
