Image Comics The Road to Independence George Khoury Jim Lee Erik Larsen Todd McFarlane Books Reviews
- I was drawn to this book on the shelf of a local shop because of the fact that the events of this book a happened when I was I junior high school. I remember the split of the artists away from marvel but never knew why. This book goes Into deep detail with pictures and interviews from the exact people. Though things are very different today for independent media, this book is exciting because it represents the genesis of the idea to the mainstream world.
- Lenghty interviews covers all of the image founders including guys like Jae Lee, Steve Oliff J. Scott Cambell, Tome Defalco, Larry Mauder, and Sam Kieth. The problems Image had with their late books and why they left Marvel in the first place. It's really good even if you missed the 1992 formation of Image or was there when the speculative market put comic stores out of business.
- I really enjoyed reading this book. It is full of interviews to many different players of the Image movement that give different perspectives on the subject.
The only thing I miss is an interview to Rob Liefeld, and even more knowing that he was one of the main forces behind the creation of Image. - For any comic book or even somone who enjoys non-fiction, this is a great read. People that have enjoyed comics in the 90's this is a refreshing reflection of a time where comic history was in the making.
