Archie: At the time, Jack Kirby's Fourth World material was coming out and in the packaging of them they reprinted a lot of Kirby's earlier stuff, and they reprinted some of the earlier Manhunter stories that he had done.
Archie: Around that time in the mid-'70s, they formed this organization, the Academy of Comic Book Arts, and a lot of issues came up in meetings we'd have, and return of artwork became a very important issue.

 Peter J. Tomasi: Follow the Light
The DC war comics and westerns were big favorites of mine growing up, so it feels like a natural fit, organic really, along with the fact that I didn't intend on using four lettered expletives anyway.
Also, it made sense historically, being that comics were massive sellers at that time and a large part of the reading material sent overseas to the troops from stateside consisted of paperbacks and comics.
Obviously I love superhero comics, but it'd be a shame if the market narrows their tastes to just those types of stories because the possibilities are endless.

Like a lot of guys who came of age in the 1960's, comic books were the defining literature of my childhood.
Since Evanier is that rare person who has, at one time or another, done all of those things, the book also serves as a de facto memoir of the author's storied life as a collector, creator and curator of inexpensive four color fantasies.
In a string of affectionate and knowing profiles of comic art luminaries like Jack Kirby, William M. Gaines and Carl Barks, Evanier makes a pretty convincing argument that these flesh and blood artists, and others like them, are the real comic book heroes, not the four color figments these guys brought to life.

One thing which does set the Wolfe books apart from many others in the P.I. genre is their somewhat lighter and livelier tone; the stories often have reasonably happy endings, rather than the cold ashes and hangovers of the average op's life.
The book also includes the famous essay speculating that Wolfe was in fact the illegitimate son of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler – and a brief note from Stout that neither confirms nor denies the speculations therein.
