Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip

Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip Review



For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Its mercurial and reclusive creator, Bill Watterson, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life.

In Looking for Calvin and Hobbes, Nevin Martell sets out on a very personal odyssey to understand the life and career of the intensely private man behind Calvin and Hobbes. Martell talks to a wide range of artists and writers (including Dave Barry, Harvey Pekar, and Brad Bird) as well as some of Watterson's closest friends and professional colleagues, and along the way reflects upon the nature of his own fandom and on the extraordinary legacy that Watterson left behind. This is as close as we're ever likely to get to one of America's most ingenious and intriguing figures - and it's the fascinating story of an intrepid author's search for him, too.

Daredevil Comic Book Volumes 1-8, 10-12

Daredevil Comic Book Volumes 1-8, 10-12 Review



You may have seen movies or read comic books about heroes such as Spider Man, Bat Man, or Superman but have you heard of the Daredevil. Why not go old school and read stories of some of the first famous comic book heroes? Many of the most popular and well known comic book heroes of today had their humble beginnings many decades ago or provided inspiration for the creation of other comic book heroes. The Daredevil is one of such comic book heroes. This is fun to read and entertaining (especially with some of the old fashioned words and language). This is a set of many editions/adventures of the Daredevil. This comic book has been specifically formatted for the Kindle 3 screen size. However, the resolution is high enough that you can zoom in (enlarge) the images for a Kindle with a larger screen. Also, the contrast and sharpness of this comic book has also been enhanced for a better reading experience. In addition to the formatting and image enhancements to the comic book, instructions are provided for using Kindle’s hidden image viewer to view this comic book. The instructions include an internet link to download the comic book and instructions for putting the comic book on your Kindle. Please note that due to the file size of the comic book and in order to use the hidden Kindle image viewer (i.e., in order to maintain the file format/type), it is necessary to download it from the internet link rather than directly from the Kindle store.
For more information about this comic book series go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_(Lev_Gleason_Publications) and http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Daredevil.
