Comic Books and Other Necessities of Life







Written by: Mark Evanier
Illustrations by: Sergio Aragones
Publisher: TwoMorrows Publishing
Published: July 2002, 200 pages, black & white.
ISBN: 1893905152







I really like this book. It is nostalgic and educational all at the same time.

This book is a collection of columns that Mark Evanier wrote for the Comics Buyer's Guide from 1999 to 2001. My personal favorites are "It's not Fannish, it's Cheap!" and the 3-part Comics Code history. I'm sure that you will find your favorites too. Mark covers everything from what it was like to collect comics in the 1960's, to what it is like to work for a comics publisher and the seamy underside of comic fandom.

Keep up the good work guys.
