Comics!</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/79736.Grant_Geissman">Grant Geissman</a><br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4916212?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review"><h3>My review</h3></a> rating: 4 of 5 stars<br/>A great overview of one of the great leaps forward for comics as a whole. The best part is that after every section on each artist, they reprint a signature story to give you a sense of their style, and the stories are, of course, great. <br/> <br/>My favorite tidbit of trivia? Apparently, one of my favorite EC artists (and Charles Burns of the 1950s), Jack Kamen, is the father of the guy who invented the Segway. Speaking of which... <br/>Eh, I got nothin'. I just thought couldn't resist the "segway/segue" joke. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/291940?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
