This is a selection of infobooks and biographies covering comic books (with GEMs highlighted). The list includes links for the Wikipedia page and an e-book version (if available). There is also a column called “More info” with links to optional posts on each book.
Note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.) You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.
You can tell from the list below which comics are my favorites! From childhood, I have always been a fan of DC Comics, particularly the Superman and Batman family of comics. There are a lot of fascinating stories about the creators of these comics which you can find in the infobooks. There is also a great book on Classics Illustrated, as well as one about the early days of the comic book era.
