tales to astonish (2004)

Tales To Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and the American Comic Book Revolution (Ronin Ro)

if you're into comics -- especially marvel ones -- you'll find this book fascinating. while there are probably many books focusing on the origin of (marvel) comics, this is the first one i've read on the topic and i found it to be very informative. however, the style of the book isn't exactly engaging; especially for anyone who isn't a comic book reader and already a fan of the topics discussed.
