Wood's knowledge of (and passion for) the graphic format shines from each page. Worth purchasing for the annotated book lists alone, this book a well-rounded resource that hass been missing from professional collections. Recommended for librarians of any skill level interested in improving, and advocating for, their library's comics collection.
