Book Description:
|
This is a book of observation and comment about comic books--in particular the Marvel hero comics of the early 1960s--and the influence those stories and drawings had on the lives of the young people that grew up with them. The topic is not brought under hard analysis: the comics were originally written for entertainment, and the author's views on them in turn are offered through conversational letters, addressed to two of the founders of the art-form at Marvel.
