About this book
Reviews
“I would unhesitatingly recommend The Greatest Comic Book of All Time as one of the most important recent publications in comics studies. … professional comics scholars of every stripe should read it. … no one has done a better job than Beaty and Woo of showing us just how much bigger our playground could be.” (Ben Saunders, Inks The Journal of the Comics Studies Society, Vol. 1 (2), 2017)
