Out There: Pop! Summer Reading
Wanna know what to read this summer at the beach? George Khoury asked and I tell…along with some other comic notables, like Alan Moore, JM DeMatteis and many others!
Here’s my entry:
VITO DELSANTE (The always enthusiastic writer of “Before They were Famous,” “Superman” and “The Chemistry Set”)
“Stan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book” – I’m just getting to this now (after 3 years of it being out!) and I’m completely taken by it. I originally grabbed it because Tom [Spurgeon] is a friend of mine, and because Ditko referenced it in his new “Avenging Mind” comic, but I’m learning a lot about someone I ignored as a “shameless huckster.” Stan is a fascinating character!
“The Ten-Cent Plague” – It seems like the perfect follow up to the Stan Lee book. Can’t wait to jump into it.
“The Search for the Red Dragon” – I read the first book, “Here There Be Dragons,” and I really want to get to this one as soon as I get off my comics history kick. This one will be read for pure fun.
