My 14 year old grandson loved this book and yet I thought he was not only being entertained but learning about "history". He asked me if there are any more but I had to tell him he had to wait for his birthday (gave the first one for Xmas)... more

By: Alex Raymond
By: Alex Raymond
Publisher: IDW Publishing
September 15, 2009
I was 8 years old when Rip Kirby first appeared on the pages of the daily newspaper to which our family subscribed. I was in love with Honey Dorian before I knew what love was. I was impressed with Rip Kirby and his faithful butler Desmond. While less loathsome than Dick Tracy's bad guys I nonetheless felt the apprehension of seeing the Mangler arise out of the waters of San Francisco Bay in his successful... more

| 5. Al Williamson's Flash Gordon: A Lifelong Vision of the Heroic |
|
By: Al Williamson
Publisher: Flesk Publications
January 15, 2009
This in an extraordinary book. While one reviewer complained of the art being in black and white, I could not be more pleased--Here we start with Flash Gordon #1 in 1966. Williamson was 35 years old and in his absolute prime. Some pages are obviously shot from copies but many of the pages are reproduced from originals. This is a book to savor, to pour over and enjoy over time, a book to come back to... more

| 6. Popeye Volume 4 |
|
By: E.C. Segar
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
August 29, 2009
This fourth volume of Fantagraphics' series of E.C. Segar's Popeye comic strips is subtitled "Plunder Island". That is also the title of a long adventure that ran in the Popeye color Sunday strips (it ran for over six months). This is arguably one of the best sequences in the history of the strip, and it introduced Alice the Goon. Other than that classic strip, all the other material is great, too... more

April 29, 2009
I was first introduced to Chester Gould's Dick Tracy in the late 1970's while i was in grade school. One christmas in the fourth or fifth grade, a class mate of mine brought in gifts for everyone in the class. Most of the gifts were used, like comics, some footballs and basketballs, etc etc, but that didn't matter, it was a great gesture. I remember he hadn't wrapped the gifts and he sat next... more

May 08, 2008
After getting a copy of by Berkeley Breathed Bloom County Complete Library Volume 1 (Library of American Comics) 1 edition from the same publisher, I wanted to see how their other publications looked. Bloom County was bound well, was printed on high quality paper, and even had a built in bookmark. But, when I compared it to an out-of-print edition (Loose Tails) that I had, I could see that they scanned... more
