Comic Book Confidential: Directed by Ron Mann. With Lynda Barry, Charles Burns, Sue Coe, Robert Crumb. A survey of the artistic history of the comic book medium and some of the major talents associated with it.
“A well made look at the history of comics, it really ignores superhero stuff and focuses on underground and indie comics for the last half. Itu0026#39;s clear they look at superhero stuff as artistically vapid (until the end with Frank Miller and DKR) which is a view I get, but thereu0026#39;s still lots to find if you dig. Could have looked more at Jack Kirbyu0026#39;s stuff, Gerber, Moore, etc. A nice primer, but overall a tad limited unless you really want to see semi obscure creators reading their stuff.”
