Customer Review: I live in Spain and the price for this encyclopedia in comic shops is 40 euros. I think this price I've paid in amazon is really great, and the encyclopedia of course is awesome.

The choice to go with minimal restoration of the original pages grew on me quite a bit after some initial disappointment with the idea. It turns out that it gives it a very... more info
Customer Review: This is a great tutorial and reference for anyone considering writing a comic book for the first time (or perhaps someone more experienced who'd like to get a fresh perspective and/or deeper understanding of fundamental structure).
