Dell History is Good History

I reviewed Funnybooks, Michael Barrier’s important new book on the history of Dell Comics for the Comics Journal. You can read my review and comment at this link. I haven’t seen the printed book myself yet (I read the manuscript back in January), but I hope to soon. Amazon and University of California Press have been rather awkward in fulfilling orders since the initial November 28 publication date, although I’ve been notified that it should begin shipping December 16.
