(More customer reviews)Some will look at this work as a scrapbook of sorts, complete with cutout cartoons, comic book pages, photographs, drawings, newspaper clippings and post cards, interwoven with captions and related anecdotes. Technically, they would be correct. But what I see is both coffee table book, as unique, visually pleasing and interesting as any I have seen, and autobiography of a true comics entrepreneur whose life in comics is just as diverse, interesting and compelling as his work.
