This is the equivalent of a crash course. Each of the creators gets a couple of paragraphs and then we move on to the next. Each individual chapter of this book could be a book unto itself, getting more into the details.

For what it is, it's great, I just wish there were more!

The comics are the best part of the book. I wish there was more substance to the text. I feel I haven't learned all the much about the artists behind the comics. The ending chapter on the current (as of 1992) state of women in the industry was interesting. I did a quick survey of men and women currently doing comic strips and of the group I looked at, men seem to out number women 6 to 1.
