Book Description
It all begins with a generation of artists who view their life’s work as dismal failures and a waste of that life…in service to a medium that refuses to die, grinding its way through generation after generation…until it collides with creatives who can’t even begin to imagine why anyone would ever want to do anything else. This is the history of comic books, alongside the misbegotten midwife whose growth, whose refusal to truly grow, serves as its decades-long and distorted mirror… Fandom. Collects HEY KIDS!

Book Description
HEY KIDS! COMICS! takes its cue from nearly a century of turbulence and triumph, despair and drama in the comics racket. Artists and writers, con men and clowns, ganefs and gangsters create the foundations of today's biggest entertainment businessÑor at least the tail that wags the dog. Some of it really happened, and the names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty Éalthough in the end, everyone was guilty of something. Collects HEY KIDS! COMICS! #1-5

Book Description
With the soon-to-be self-styled greatest generation grudgingly called to war, it’s high time for those back on the home front to step up and fill in for the fighting men overseas. But when the work needs writers and artists, and the only bodies available are unambitious halfwit hacks and talentless, overeager fans…will this be what kills the comic book cash cow?

Book Description
Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always-entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business, volume two of HOWARD CHAYKIN’s acclaimed comic à clef tells the story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common denominator—at their own peril—and those happy enough to ride the waves others created. Along the way there’s exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom toilet paper, death at the dinner table, and plenty more, as fans turn pro and pros turn bitter. Collects HEY KIDS! COMICS!, VOL.

They’ve known for years it’s the beginning of the end...so why won’t the damn business just die already? Hopes and dreams are floated and crushed, and crushed again…but new blood, with new eyes, can see a new path emerging from the mist, a fog that veterans thought just hid one more cliff.

Book Description
New blood makes waves on and off the page, as acknowledged giants learn just how worthless that acknowledgment is. And don't worry about management. They've still got plenty of screwing over talent to keep them busy.
