So, anybody who has read this column knows that I am a fan of Mark Evanier's blog, povonline. But before he did that he used to write a column for Comics Buyer's Guide each week called P.O.V., or point of view. ( Before that he used to work in animation, been an assistant of Jack Kirby and co-wrote Groo, amongst other things.) As a reader of CBG, his colums were one of my favorite things about what at that time was a paper.
This book is a collection of those columns. He covers everything from his growing up a comic fan in Los Angeles in the 70s to the creation of the Comics Code to remembering comics associated people such as Roz Kirby and John Buscema.
I lucked upon this book at a 40% off sale at a Comic Store near me, but it is worth the SRP of $12.95. I usually read about 5 books at one time, bouncing from one to another when it gets boring. I read this one from cover to cover, and I had already read the stuff 7-10 years ago. I recommend it highly.
