Hey Kids! Comics! Volume 2: Prophets & Loss

Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business, volume two of Howard Chaykin’s acclaimed Comics à clef tells the story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common denominator–at their peril –and those happy enough to ride the waves others created. Along the way there’s exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom toilet paper, death at the dinner table and plenty more as fans turn pro and pros turn bitter.
