Black Comix Returns by John Jennings, Damian Duffy
4.0
I've been using the 2010 version of this book as a resource to widen the scope of which creators I seek out in both webcomics and physical comics. This new edition is considerably larger (not just thicker and filled with more up-to-date information, but physically larger) which makes the art pop even more.
Most of essays about each creator are simple one paragraph descriptions of their style and some of the projects they've worked on. These little paragraph pops left me wanting more, but, hey, I know how Google works, I can get the rest of the information that way. The longer essays within the book taught me a bunch of things about creators that I hadn't previously heard, which makes this the most useful essay book on comic creators that I've read.
I recommend it to anyone looking to read more comics, particularly by Black creators. And anyone who just likes looking at art books. And don't just read it for Back History Month either. This is a 365/365 resource.
