This lavish, full-color, coffee-table style volume celebrating the comics medium was a dozen years in the making. Via alphabetical entries, the authors take an idiosyncratic look at everything from creators, characters, and companies to conventions and collectors. Drawing on their years of expertise in the field and on interviews with hundreds of comics veterans, Mike Richardson (Dark Horse Comics' publisher) and Steve Duin (columnist for the Portland Oregonian) provide the inside scoop on the early days of comics in the 1930s, the studio days of the 1940s, the crisis in the 1950s, and the resurgence in the 1960s. And the book offers plenty of behind-the-scenes information about comics in more recent decades as well. You'll find R. Crumb side by side with crime comics, Li'l Abner brushing elbows with Little Annie Fanny, and Superman nose-to- nose with Spawn. This book is a must-have for anyone with a love for comics.

reviewed Comics Between the Panels on July 25, 2011 Comics Between the Panels
A great coffee-table book which, while not being an exhaustive encyclopaedic account of the history of comic books, is chock-full of great anecdotes on the subject. These include:
-Vertigo editor Karen Berger explaining to Neil Gaiman that "there is no masturbation in the DC universe."
-Bob Kane's never-ending love affair with himself
-Bob Kanigher's thoughts on Bob Kane & Julius Schwartz's appetite
-an entry devoted to Alex Raymond's '56 Corvette, which killed him
-the party held at John Byrne's house, where Marvel's then-Editor in Chief Jim Shooter was burned in effigy
-an entry devoted to the comics biz' history of suicides (Wally Wood, Jack Cole, Vaughn Bode, and others)
-Jean "Moebius" Giraud using a Sharpie to deface a convention sketch that he'd just drawn for a fan, after being asked by that fan to ink it as well
...and many more!
