Les Daniels has written extensively about American comic books and those are the strongest sections of this book. I would have liked a deeper critical view of the subject but Daniels covers alot of ground in this book and should be credited with including many of the lesser known writers of the genre. While not being comprehensive (The Wicker Man and Micheal Powell's Peeping Tom - two of many omissions), it does attempt to view the subject from a variety of different angles. ( )
