Big Books About Comics

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 – running time 19:54

All comic book readers have a big stack of those big comic book reference books. You either hunt them down, or get them as gifts, but sometimes the best books aren't actually comics, but are just books about comics

Books about comics are in no short supply. Stacked in thick, heavy piles in your local bookstores, these impressive volumes are very often given to comic readers at the holidays. "We know you like Spider-Man, so we got you this..." But rather than induce eye-rolling, a lot of these kinds of books can be a whole lot of information, and a whole lot of fun.

This week, Ron, Josh, and Conor take a look at some of their favorite giant books about comic books, such as the DC Vault, Marvel Chronicle, Watching the Watchmen, an encyclopedia of comics from Dark Horse, and even one that has Stan Lee talk to you, among other.

Stock your shelves, or perhaps your bathroom, while learning all about the history behind the stories with some of these great big books about comics.
