This lavish volume takes an in-depth look at the history of comics in a
manner decidedly unlike the dry timelines and profiles of most
reference-style titles. Via alphabetical entries, the authors take an
irreverent, often hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at creators,
companies, characters, collectors, and conventions, pulling no punches
when exposing some of the darker sides of the industry.
Containing countless stories gleaned from over 150 interviews of comics
industry veterans, Comics Between the Panels is loaded with more than
half a century of insider information on the talented and eccentric
creators who forged the comics industry and art form.
Features 670 illustrations and photos -- including dynamic and bizarre
cover art compiled under such curious headings as Atomic Bombs, Death
with Indignity, Gorillas, Headlights, Hooded Menaces, and Skulls.
