Praise for this book

Some comics you want to binge the whole thing and all 600 pages of this I was just having a blast. Seeing how these characters progress throughout the ages and seeing what jokes and new parodies and satirical matter Don Simpson is going to come up with next. It's just such a fun book.-- "Taylor Talks Comics"
