Book Reviews of Masters of American Comics
Book Review: The best of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased "The Monster of Frankenstein Dick Briefer's Horror Comic Epic" and was so enthralled by this golden age comic that I had to have more.
"Masters of Comic Art", a reexamination of pop culture comics morphed in to fine art, is a useful overview of a "who's who" in the comic world.
Beautifully reproduced in full color and loaded with great art and interesting information about the creators makes this book a must have.
