Comic Book History Of Comics by Fred Van Lente
A lively, illustrated chronicle that traces the medium from its newspaper-strip and pulpy origins through the birth of superheroes in the Golden Age, wartime and postwar shifts, the constraining Comics Code and the Silver Age revival, to underground, indie, manga, and modern graphic-novel eras. It explains key creators, industry economics, censorship battles, legal and rights issues, and cultural impact, using comics-style panels and accessible narration to mix scholarship with wit and make the history both informative and entertaining.
