Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always
entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business,
volume two of Howard Chaykin’s acclaimed Comics à clef tells the
story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common
denominator–at their peril –and those happy enough to ride the waves
others created. Along the way there’s exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom
toilet paper, death at the dinner table and plenty more as fans turn pro and
pros turn bitter.
