SUGGESTED ORDER
An illustrated collection of humorous and strange
comments overheard in a comic book store.
“You don’t get Superman the way I do. That’s
why I got all the tattoos.”
Illustrator Tim Chamberlain is the Jane Goodall of the comic book world.
His blog, which provides the basis for this illustrated collection, chronicles
the lively overheard opinions and comments of the sometimes scary,
sometimes funny, but always fascinating culture known as the comic
book store. Gathered from his time as both an employee and customer,
each illustration provides a fascinating—and often hilarious—glimpse
into the inner world of the devoted comic book fan.
