COMIC BOOK COMICS (2009)

"(W) Fred Van Lente (A) Ryan Dunlavey The too-crazy-not-to-be-true story of the comic book industry ends at new beginnings! Graphic Novels: Where did the term come from - Will Eisner, or a Swiss artist who died a century before he was born? The unbelievable biography of Osamu Tezuka, God Of Manga, and how he led Japanese comics to dominance on both sides of the Pacific! Finally, the Direct Market and how it led to a creative revolution in comics!"

"(W) Fred Van Lente (A) Ryan Dunlavey Get ready for non-stop action, action, action - legal action, that is! The incredible, insane true story of the American comic book industry continues with the All-Lawsuit Issue! DC vs. Fawcett! Disney vs. the Air Pirates! Jack Kirby vs. Marvel over his stolen artwork! Steve Gerber over Howard the Duck! Don DeCarlo over Josie and the Pussycats! And that pales next to the all-out war over the rights to Miracleman!"
