A fascinating look at the rise of comic books

This book is perfect for all the fans of DC Comics, Marvel and other giants of the industry. It gives an indepth and fascinating look at the beginning of comic books and even covers the rise of the current movies featuring comic book characters. I really enjoyed the parts where the author reviewed the years in history so that I could relate to what was happening when certain comics or characters became popular. As a child of the 60’s, this book was totally relatable for me. I remember my brothers having a lot of these comics and looking at the current prices, I wish that they had kept them. I loved all of the illustrations from the comic books and the former cost of twelve cents compared to the current price of thousands of dollars. I enjoyed seeing some of my favorite characters and their back-story explained, especially Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of comics, young or old.
