Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-07 00:00:00 Barry Sheppard i didn't intend to read this cover to cover as i was targeting some specific subjects, but the longer i had it in my possession, the more of it i kept wandering into. it's a nice encyclopedic reference of the genre with a lot of excellent cross-references and interesting information about series, characters, their creators, and the publishers. certainly the most comprehensive i have found (though it's admittedly not an area that's had much literary coverage overall). probably the most frustrating thing about this book was reading about some crazy series that sound like a lot of fun but would be virtually impossible to track down. a must-read for anyone interested in the early origins of popular pulp fiction and comic books.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-04-19 00:00:00 Bobbie Anne Brandau Absolutely amazing resource for anyone conducting research into the history of popular culture and written ephemera.
