Comic book rebels : conversations with the creators… by Stan Wiater

A 1993 collection of interviews of artists and writers who worked in comic books and challenged the juvenile-oriented status quo. An interesting recap of times when young adults were challenging much of the existing cultural standards. But, unless you are a collector or avid reader of comic books, novelty will only carry you so far in reading.

The Complete Stephen King Universe: A Guide to the… by Stanley Wiater

I have learned a ton of information from this book, discovered connections between books that I would have missed otherwise, and random bits of trivia that should win me lots of money on Jeopardy should ever a Stephen King category come up. =)

The Complete Stephen King Universe: A Guide to the… by Stanley Wiater

I learned a lot from this book. I learned the inside workings of his mind and why he writes what he does. This book allowed my interest in his other works to grow. I haven't read or seen many of his works, but after reading this guide, I wanted to read and see everything, mainly to see what they were talking about.

As far as I can tell, this guide lists most of his work up until publication, it included the "Dark Tower Series", so it was a revised edition.

One book that is now on my 'to read' list that wasn't on there before is "The Stand". I think this is a nice companion to people who want to get more into the world of Stephen King.… (more)
