saintdoormatius's review against another edition
4.0
A visually stunning book (like most of Taschen's output) only marred by a strangely edited text. Throughout, Thomas mentions historical points that are never explained, notably several references to Timely/Marvel's distribution deal before the Marvel Age began that limited the number of titles they could publish. Definitely read this alongside Sean Howe 's masterful history.
captainjaq's review against another edition
5.0
This is a great read. It’s fascinating in that it a completely objective look at the company, glossing over most of the controversies (which are handled elsewhere quite well) in favor of just glorifying the comics themselves.
