• Summary:

  This graphic novel is a love letter to America’s greatest comic book creators. In five episodes, Ponchione examines the art and lives of Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Wallace Wood, Will Eisner, and Richard Corben, whose styles he effortlessly incorporates into his drawings.

  Where does real life end and imagination begin? Ponchione combines details from each artist’s life with the characters and worlds they created, mixing fact with fiction to illustrate the extraordinary imagination of these masters of the ninth art.

  An attractive work by an extraordinary artist. […] Each pasticcio is beautifully drawn, as are the framing segments that show Ponchione’s own clean, naturalistic style.
