Summary: DO NOT BUY: It is rife with errors
Review: "Bad history. Bad scholarship. And, even, bad criticism. ... But Horn's book is clearly not supposed to be a scholarly enterprise. Rather, it is a bald-faced attempt to cash in on the Centennial: its commercial value was clearly more important to its editor and its publisher than any historical or referential worth."

-review by Robert Harvey in May 1997 issue of INKS, a scholarly journal or cartoon and comic art studies.

Summary: this book is o.k., could use more pictures, some facts wrong
Review: As I Said, this book is'nt really bad for looking up comic strips you've heard mentioned someplace, but it really needed more illustrations and many facts are wrong in the articles that I knew were wrong.. There are probably more, but I wouldn't know about most...
