This one took me a while to get through but I am glad I did! Similar to Pretty in Ink, it’s not a book I would have picked up on my own but I have really enjoyed learning about the people behind the stories. I also found some new artist to follow and it made my Goodreads to-read list longer for sure. I hope the group will do more history of comics type books like this in the future. Maybe one that focuses on racial minority creators?

I'd be interested in reading something like that. I'll have to try to find this one too.

Good suggestion, Russell! I got several months of polls queued up the other day but that's a good theme to add into the rotation. If you have any suggestions, feel free to DM them to me; I know I do have some on my TBR that would work, though.

So I got this as an ILLO and unfortunately I just couldn't get into it. I think if my own library had it I would have tried to renew it and continue but I decided to just send it back when I didn't finish it.

I wish they used comics to tell their stories rather than having a written bio and example of their work. I ended up mostly just flipping through to see the names and examples of how the art changed over the years.

Absolutely agree. It would have been a more interesting and compelling read if they had.
