*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: The focus is very much on the ‘Books’ part of this category, with many weighty tomes about various panelological matters, including out of print or early editions. ‘Berni Wrightson: A Look Back’ is the 1991 retrospective of one of the greatest modern horror comics artists, while other creators in the spotlight this time are Steve Ditko and Golden Age cult figure Fletcher Hanks. Trina Robbins highlights some often overlooked female comics artists of WWII in ‘Babes In Arms’, and ‘Comic Book Implosion’ details one of the nadirs of DC’s long history, when the company nearly dropped its comics line altogether. Several seminal works on the history of comics in general are newly added to our lists – Les Daniels’ ‘Comix: A History of Comic Books In America’, and Aldridge & Perry’s ‘Penguin Book of Comics’. Plus Scott McCloud’s ‘Understanding Comics’, ‘Teen-Age Dope Slaves & Reform School Girls’, and a comprehensive history of the ‘Skywald Horror-Mood’ – all four-colour life is here!
