A personal yet informative twist on Comic Book history
This book is different from other "history of comic books" books I've read because it's seen thru a lens of the author's personal feelings and experiences with them. There are facts and figures galore so it's not all subjective, yet it was interesting in how this works so well in elucidating why the Silver Age of comics is so important. The anecdotal notes only add to the very well researched and presented facts. My only complaint that is that it at times seems a bit short on information. I guess you could consider this the high-end cliff notes version.
My favorite part is definitely the look you get at some truly classic covers and pages, all arranged in dynamic layouts that keep your eye moving thru the page.
The quality of the paper and printing is impressive. This is a very heavy book considering the page count isn't that high, but the quality and care put into presenting the classic comics and their art shows in how well this is made.
Overall, it's a fun presentation for a fun topic.
