I have a few. Ten Cent Plague is a good one, and Comic Wars is a fantastically interesting look at Marvel's bankruptcy issues in the 90's, if you don't mind reading about the business side instead of the creative side.

Make sure you read and understand what the original poster was asking, he was inquiring not about collections of comics, but about books about comics, comics creators, and/or comic publishing. We have a ton of threads about the comics themselves in whatever form, this one is about something else. -M |

Just this, got it on clearance. Not bad but not exactly what I was expecting, since it's mostly common undergrounds being talked about.  |
