By Gerard Jones. Geeks, Gangsters and the Birth of the Comic Book.
This is the story of charismatic artists, writers and businessmen such as Jerry Siegel, Joe Schuster, Harry Donenfeld, Jack Liebowitz, Bob Kane, Mort Weisinger, Stan Lee and Will Eisner, among others. They spawned a new genre in entertainment. Illustrated with 12 b&w vintage photographs, pulp covers, and comic panels. Jones offers new insights into how girlie pulp publishers and mob-related printers got to the top of the comics business. An extraordinary read! A 2005 Eisner Award-winner.
