Comix: A History of Comic Books

Produced with his fellow Brown University classmate, writer-historian-musician Les Daniels, COMIX: A HISTORY OF COMIC BOOKS IN AMERICA is among the earliest comprehensive histories of the art form and first to recognize that ALL comics, from Tijuana bibles, to EC Comics, to funny animals, to underground comix — and not just the mainstream super-hero fare — are equally deserving of recognition. Notable is the fact that The Mad Peck not only designed the book and illustrated the cover, but he wrote the “Mighty Marvel” chapter, in the process visiting the Bullpen and he also helped to attain the help of Warren Publishing’s Jim Warren to gain access to contemporary publishers.
