 Blogcritics.org: Comic Books and Other Necessities of Life
Evanier has had an extensive career in the mainstream comic book field, writing everything from Daffy Duck books to Superman to a series of gritty comics set around the world of Hollywood show biz (one of my favorite unsung comic books); he’s also staked out a sizable chunk for himself as a TV comedy writer.
So Mark has a point when he decries the mainstream industry’ herd stampede into making their superhero books indistinguishably noir-ish, for it’s likely that this trend has contributed to the industry’s shrinking starter readership.
Reading Mark’s words on this tough-minded woman and her connection to one of comics’ greatest artists, his book's full title doesn’t seem so ironic, after all.
