Can you tell us a little more about this? Is this a special one-off magazine like the ones I see near the register at the supermarket?

The book is from TwoMorrows, which publishes some terrific comic book histories.

Here's a link to that particular book: https://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_p ... n4dr71n816

No, it's a hardcover book.

I ordered this book as soon as I saw this thread last July -- and it has been out-of-print for ages. Regular "do you want to cancel?" notices from Amazon until last Friday, when I was notified that it was coming. It arrived today!

I have only riffled it so far, but there is so much in it!

Highest recommendation- book is beautifully designed and well written. Publisher TwoMorrows provides you with a digital copy if you buy the print edition. They are also suffering from Diamond Distributors recent bankruptcy filing, so they can use the orders.
Great publisher deserves our support.
