| | BookPage Nonfiction Review: Comic Book Encyclopedia |
 | | You'll be tempted to rush to your local comics shop and dig through the back-issue boxes for hours, searching happily for the sources of the magic preserved in its pages. | | | The gorgeous new Comic Book Encyclopedia has the lowdown on just about every comic book ever created, as well as the folks who created them. | | | The book covers everything from early progenitors like Ned Pines' Thrilling Comics to more recent milestones like DC's infamous Superman #75, containing the much-publicized and of course temporary death of the Man of Steel. |

| | After receiving a deluge of mail about comics, I created this column to answer many of the questions. | | | Within, you will find information on comics history, storage and preservation, grading, buying and selling, conventions; and what I think may or may not be a worthy read. | | | If you do not find the answers you seek feel free to send me a message and I will add it to the litany of topics - or clarify an article that may have been less than concise. |

| | Encyclopedia opens window on Appalachia |
| | Who knew that the long-running hillbilly comic strip "Barney Google and Snuffy Smith" gave us the terms "heebie jeebies" and "horsefeathers"? | | | As laid out in its introduction, the encyclopedia attempts to document Appalachia as not a social and economic problem, but as a real, if often redefined and constantly changing, place -- one that is "too diverse to generalize about." |
