About this ebook:
THE COMIC READER and ON THE DRAWING BOARD #1 to 25 by Dr. Jerry Bails is an absolutely essential part of the library of every comic book fan, collector, and convention goer -- regardless of age.In the Spring of 1961, Dr. Bails penned a fateful column named ON THE DRAWING BOARD within the pages of his ground-breaking fanzine ALTER-EGO #1. In the same way that TV GUIDE provided previews for its readers of what was up-and-coming on their TV screens, ON THE DRAWING BOARD provided previews for comic readers about what comic books were up-and-coming to their local newsstands. His column was an immediate hit that inspired a second installment in ALTER-EGO #2, a third in THE COMICOLLECTOR #1, and the column earned the distinction of its own standalone newsletter with #4. By issue #8, the publication was re-named THE COMIC READER, the name it was best known by through the 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s, and, even to this day, in posterity. Now, for the first time, these first twenty-five issues of ON THE DRAWING BOARD and THE COMIC READER are reprinted in one volume. Each issue was selected from the best-known available copies from the meticulously-assembled archives of collector J. Ballmann, who has performed extensive restoration of the pages and who has written relevant commentary for all thirty-three issues that provides historical context to what was going on in the world of comic collecting at the time. Dr. Bails’ super-heroic run of THE COMIC READER is a breathtaking time capsule that transports readers into the nascent world of comic collecting as it was just beginning -- and as it was happening -- and produces a narrative from the thoughts and words of that very first generation of comic book fans as they discuss the indexing and pricing of comic books, as they search out those hard-to-find issues and try to complete their collections, as they successfully persuade comic companies to return Hawkman and Captain America to the newsstands, as they brainstorm ways to stage the first comic book convention, and, most importantly, as they get to know one another. With this book, the opportunity has now arrived for the latest generation of comic book fans to get to know that very first generation of fans who started it all, and, especially, the leader of those fans: the venerable Dr. Jerry Bails!
