A Hallmark movie for the comic book fan
This book was a fun little read. In a lot of ways it was a Hallmark movie in print form for the comic geeks. Nova Scotia girl meets bad boy from Los Angeles and they bond over comic books. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl have a fight, boy and girl make up -- at Comic-con, of course.
But the book was written by a comic insider, and has the earmarks of authenticity -- roughly based on the struggles of some comic book creators to receive recognition and compensation for their creations. It's one part Jerry Siegel (co-creator of Superman,) one part Bill Finger (unacknowledged co-creator of Batman), one part Jack Kirby -- the title is actually a famous quotation from Kirby.
Along the way the author tells us a bit about how comics are created in the first place -- and even mentions a few names, like Kurt Busiek and John Buscema, who are well known to comic fans but probably not at all known to outsiders.
It's not great literature but it's a fun book. Oh, and did I mention it's written by a woman? Girls like comics too . . . and if you know such a girl, this book might be just right for her.
