Oof, even more to add to my reading list..

Saw this list and that it was pretty spot on:

In continuing the theme of the last few Thursday Thirteen this week will be books about comic books. Not books featuring reprints or even original comic work, but books that tell the history of comic books, or a creator, or any other historical or informational book about comic books.

Certain books, like Understanding Comics, Men Of Tomorrow, and Comic Book Nation I’ve read, and they are extremely informational and lets you get a good handle on comics and comics history, and considering the others on there, I can imagine this would be a good list to go on ofr nay serious comic book study.

+ Been watching the Comic Book Club video Podcast thingie and thought it was very cool, thought a bit giggly at times, but all around a good talk on comics.
