Product Description
The Fawcett Companion examines the history of Fawcett Comics, publisher of Captain Marvel, The Marvel Family, Spy Smasher, Bulletman, Ibis the Invincible, and other time-honored comic book characters. Editor P. C. Hamerlinck has compiled this volume, collecting the best material from the nearly 30-year history of the Fawcett Collectors of America Newsletter. Presented here are interviews and features on C.C. Beck, Pete Costanza, Marc Swayze, Will Lieberson, Otto Binder, Rod Reed, Ginny Provisiero, and more, with behind-the-scenes looks at how the company operated from its 1940 beginnings until ceasing publication in 1953 in the wake of a legal battle with the owners of Superman. Also included is an index of all Fawcett comics published, plus rare and unpublished artwork by Beck, Swayze, Kurt Schaffenberger, Mac Raboy, Alex Toth, George Evans, Alex Ross, & more!

A True Fan... February 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
That's what Mark Evanier is, a true fan not only of comics, that's too limiting. Mark is a true fan of talent and the people who posses it, and that shines through in this collection of his POV column from the Comic's Buyers Guide.
Inside is Mark's columns on DC's most loved editor, Julie Schwartz, Disneyland, Comic Conventions, Curt Swan and many others. Over the years, Mark has (somewhat against his will) become the chief obituary writer for the comics industry. You'll find tributes here to some of comics greatest (the already mentioned Mr.'s Schwartz and Swan, along with Pat Boyette), plus stories pointing out why they were worthy of tributes in the first place.
He has two other collections as well, buy those too, dang it!
