Review by: MApgar
This author has that all too common ability to take a varied subject
and, via dry academic interjection in what I can only reason was a vain
attempt to make the erudites take his book seriously, make it as
unappealing
as watching moldy paint dry. At times it just sounded like he was
reciting back a Wikipedia article. OK, so I've been in the field almost
30 years, but I didn't learn a single thing. He just rehashed old facts
as he discussed early serials, radio projects,
and TV series. (Many of which, I'd like to point out, fall under the
category of 'pulp' characters instead of actual comic books per se. But
that's nitpicky. Point being, a lot of the people he yammers on about
the average person will know little of and have
no interest in.)
