I'm almost finished with the
Spiderman book. Call it more research than actual reading. Early 60's comics were poor at best however I do find the style interesting and the initial concept of Spidey being a superhero with real problems stands the test of time. I'll be writing a short review of the book for an upcoming
Blue Rabbit Chronicles.
And speaking of book surfing, I recently started another book that I forgot to mention,
Decision Philadelphia: The Constitutional Convention of 1787. I bought this book at a book sale at work for fifty cents. It delves into what life was really like at both the convention and in general in America at the time. It also gets into why the framers wrote the constitution the way that they did and the soap opera surrounding the whole thing.
Found this link via
Book Slut:
Brian Vaughan's weblog. Not sure if Brian's web log is any good yet, however it does include footnote links for his
Y: The Last Man comic which is one of my personal favorites.
