It was one of the only ways to read those old books with the exception of old 80 pg giant, the tabloids, and the 30's to the 70's books. I had completely forgotten about this book. Fr.

It's easy to forget that not so long ago, library shelves weren't filled with comic book histories and graphic novels. The Smithsonian book was graced my shelf for years. I credit it with introducing me to Scribbly -- and specifically the original Red Tornado! And I'm still not sure if it was this book of Jules Feiffer's that introduced me to Will Eisner's fantastic world of The Spirit. Grab a used copy of this book while you can.
