The Mighty Thor Wrote:If you are a comic book fan (and if you are reading this I would say the likelyhood of that is high,) I would give my highest possible recommendation to Michael Chabon's wonderful novel, "The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay."
I'm going to have to disagree with you, TMT. I read "Marvel: Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics" in one sitting and was never bored. But I had to force myself to keep reading "Cavalier and Clay". I only got about half way before I just gave up. There is too little about comics and too much about peeing in coffins and descriptions of naked fathers.
"Marvel" on the other hand is all about comics and it's all true.
