I haven't recommended a book on comics lately so here's one. If you're the least bit interested in the history of EC Comics (and William M. Gaines, its publisher pictured above right), you must, must, must have Tales of Terror! by Grant Geissman and Fred Von Bernewitz. It's an exhaustive and entertaining compendium of info, interviews and insights about one of the two-or-so greatest lines of comics ever produced. They couldn't have done a better job with this one. This is one of those books I started flipping through, figuring I'd sit down later and read it through. I got hooked and wound up spending an hour or three flipping through it. Buy a copy and see if the same thing doesn't happen to you. Reading this book is almost as much fun as reading an EC Comic.
