COMIX A History Of Comic Books In America

Covers the whole history of comic books in America to 1970—the major creations, the major creators, the major comic book lines, the major comic book enemies. Co-authors Les Daniels and John Peck tell the story of how comic books captured the imagination of millions and became an American institution, and whether 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, all full stories. "It seems safe to say," the authors write, "that no book to date has contained such a wide range of comic book tales, where else can one find in the same volume such divergent personalities as the Old Witch and Donald Duck, or Captain America and Those Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers?" Out of Print. Condition: Fine. Bumped spine corners. Cover and edge wear.
