About the book

When readers contemplate a memorable old comic book, the first thing that comes to mind is its cover - and that was no accident. Publishers realised early on that, if they invested in a good cover artist, they could fill the insides with mediocrity and still make a sizeable profit; that all it took was a striking cover to entice thousands of kids to hand over their pocket money. Majestic, iconic, chaotic or downright weird, a classic comic book cover has an undeniable appeal - and ACTION! MYSTERY! THRILLS! celebrates this unique cultural icon.
