Dammit this book is fun!

I've been reading comics since I was four. As I have gotten older my eyesight has begun to fail--rereading comic collections became a thing of the past and super zooming digital copies is annoying. Then I stumble on this brilliant two book series and man, what fun listening to book summaries--some I recall, others are new to me. And the author just goes with his honest opinions which I found hysterical. Ex: "and the next issue so and so took over the art, and it was terrible." Sometimes I disagreed but I applaud the no sugar coating. I enjoyed this book so much, I have even reached out to audible to get the AI voice on Mr. Schoell's entries on the silver age and the copper age of DC. If you enjoyed these books at the time or new and just want a cool sampler of bronze age comics you won't be let down.
