    Comic Book History of Comics: Birth of a Medium (2017) by Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey (IDW)

    I stumbled upon Van Lente & Dunlavey’s works after reading the 2022 Eisner-nominated series Hocus Pocus (which is visually inspired and presented in much the same way but about this history of stage magic and mystery). The Comic Book History of Comics series is a simple yet brilliant project that does a great job informing while entertaining the reader. I was able to download this series through the ComiXology Unlimited and could not get enough.
