Discovering Comics

Résumé du livre

In this concentrated but definitive history, Denis Gifford traces the evolution of the comic and its heroes from 'Ally Sloper' to 'Dan Dare', from 'Weary Williw and Tired Tim' to 'Desperate Dan'. Along the way he exposes a trade secret here and drops a hint to comic collectors there, illustrating the whole with pictorial gems from his own vast collection.
