There is no denying that comic books play a pivotal role in the entertainment world. Blockbuster movies such as the two "Dark Knight" films and three "Spider-Man" films - as well as many more - have catapulted comic books to the entertainment forefront. New in 2010 is "Iron Man 2" and "Green Hornet". This new title provides a brief overview of the industry and a grading guide. Unlike other bloated price guides, "Comic Book Price Guide" gets busy, providing an impressive yet succinct A-Z guide to 100,000 comic books. Every major publisher is covered, from DC to Marvel, Dark Horse, Image Classics Illustrated and miscellaneous Golden Age titles, black and white titles, colour titles from modern publishers like Valiant, Gold Key, Gladstone and Malibu.
