Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Heroes of the Comic Books includes publishers, editors and artists from the industry's birth in the '30s, through the brilliant artists and writers behind EC Comics in the '50s. All are lovingly rendered and chosen by Drew Friedman, a cartooning legend in his own right, featuring subjects popular and obscure, men and women, as well as several pioneering African-American artists.

Includes bibliographical references.
