MASTERS OF IMAGINATION:
The Comic Book Artists Hall Of Fame

By Mike Benton


Dallas, Texas: Taylor Publishing Company, (1994).

First edition, First printing
( With publisher's first printing code sequence 1 through 10)

Illustrated in brilliant high-quality color.

Benton, a comics scholar, profiles thirteen artists who have been the most influential in the comic book medium.

The chosen masters are Jack Kirby, Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, Mad's Harvey Kurtzman, Donald Duck's Carl Barks, Pogo creator Walt Kelly, Alex Toth, and Bernard Kristein.

What all his subjects share is that they emphasize not flashy illustration but story-telling, with the design pacing and flow of narrative.  Benton's compilation fills a need since information has previously only been available in brief entries in reference books and small press magazine articles.

Fine in blue linen with silver titles to the spine; in a fine dust jacket; original $29.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.


Square quarto; 176 pages; artists guide and checklist.

A choice find for comic book fans-and in such nicely well-preserved condition.
