The book begins with a concise history of comics and action heroes and heroines, tracing their development from the first US comics - such as Busch's Max und Moritz, which was published in the 1870s - right up to present-day developments.

If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller--known recently for his excellent Sin City series and, previously, for his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil--is probably the supreme contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times. In his introduction the great Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, the arguably peerless Watchmen) argues that only someone of Miller's stature could have done this. Batman is a character known well beyond the confines of the comic world (as are his retinue) and so reinventing him, while keeping his limiting core essentials intact, was a huge task.

First i bought 'Draw Comics The Marvel Way' which in my opinion is one of the most important books of the genre. I'm not a huge DC fan but i figured i better get the best of both worlds to stand a chance if i decide to present my work professionaly. Well, what can i say? This book delivers a lot of info, not unlike the Marvel book in many respects but in a very different way. Essentially it's more advanced than the Marvel book with a more proffesional overview also with great advice on breaking into the proffesion. If you are an aspiring comic artist and DC fan then buy this book. If your a Marvel man (or woman!) buy this book so you can appreciate DC, i've had a 180 turn around since buying this book.

A feature length documentary that profiles 22 of the most significant artists and writers working in comic books, graphic novels and strip cartooning in North America. This movie is a must-see for any comic book fan. For non-fans it's good way to get to know comics better. The movie features a lot of well known comic book creators like Stan Lee, Robert Crumb and Will Eisner. There's a lot of good footage of various comics being filmed frame by frame while being read by the creator. Don't expect a lot of extras here though. This a very basic release. Still, you will not be disappointed.
