4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth seeking out., November 29, 2004
By M. B. RENTZLER (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Comix (Hardcover)
Shhh! Be quiet and buy this before everyone comes to their senses and raises the price of this one through the roof.

I bought this book back in the early seventies and still have my copy today.

It features a lot of reprints (some in color) and not the run of the mill reprints either. Who would ever think of a Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge tale in the same section as the origin of EC's Old Witch while nearby lurks an Atlas Sub-Mariner tale. Joy!!! Many of the stories reprinted in this book I have not seen reprinted since.

There is also a nice secition on Underground Comics written during the time they were in full florish with no end in sight.

It is reflective of the the time it was written (the later 60's) and has a vitality you don't see in many of todays books on comics.

My verdict: Buy it and take home a living piece of history written at a time before, slabbing comics (heck they didn't even bag them much in those days),
