| 2. Indiana Jones Adventures Volume 2 | 
|
By: Mark Evanier, Ethen Beavers
Publisher: Dark Horse
October 28, 2009
I was expecting a book (with words) -- not a glorified comic book. Very disappointing! Thought, perhaps, I had not read the description carefully and went back to the site to check. Nope! Nowhere did the description mention that very major detail. Book might be okay for a beginning reader -- but, then, I don't think they'd even know who Indiana Jones is. This was a gift for a 13-year-old... more

| 3. Turok: Son of Stone Archives Volume 1 (v. 1) |
|
By: Alberto Giolitti
Publisher: Dark Horse
April 08, 2009
I never read any Turok issues before and since Dark Horse does a wonderful job with other archival books that I have from them (eg, Tarzan), I decided to give Turok a chance and boy was I pleasently surprised. The stories are really interesting and make me want to want read the next issue reprinted. This is great. All the original covers are beautifully reprinted, it seems to me originally painted... more

| 4. Did You Grow Up With Me, Too? - The Autobiography of June Foray | 
|
By: June Foray
Publisher: BearManor Media
July 04, 2009
This was such a fun book to read! Not only does Ms. Foray tell us her life story, but she does it with humor and love. Those are two things that this poor ol' world needs a lot more of. We learn of her climb to the top, the many interesting people she's worked with (names we might not recognize, but voices that are so very familiar), and what it's like to be a voice actor. Until reading this book... more

| 5. Boogeyman | 
|
By: Sergio Aragones, Mark Evanier, Mark Evanier
Publisher: Dark Horse
June 23, 1999
These comics are sort of like Sergio and Mark's version of horror comics. In them, an old gravedigger narrates stories about the "Boogeyman". The Boogeyman is not a physical being, but rather is the symbolic manifestation of people's fears. The narrative structure gives ample opportunity to tell (mostly) humorous stories about human fears. If you are familar with Sergio's other collaborations with... more

| 7. Groo: Houndbook |
|
By: Sergio Aragones, Mark Evanier
Publisher: Dark Horse
June 09, 1999
For a long time I avoided this title, despite the fact that I enjoyed most of writer Mark Evanier's other books (with the exception of kiddie books like "Huckleberry Hound" and "Heathcliff"). But one month I wasn't going to be able to make in to my local comic book shop and I asked him to pull my usual books. Instead, he pulled one of every title, including Groo.
I read that issue and... more

| 10. Mad Art : A Visual Celebration of the Art of Mad Magazine and the Idiots Who Create It |
|
By: Mark Evanier
Publisher: Watson-Guptill
November 01, 2002
The title of "MAD Art" is a nice, simple title, achieving a sense of balance by consisting of a pair of three letter words, but it is a bit off target. Even when you through in the subtitle--"A Visual Celebration of the Art of 'MAD' Magazine and the Idiots Who Create It"--we are still off the beam a bit, because what Mark Evanier has compiled here is a tribute to the specific artists who made "MAD"... more
