That's very kind of you - it ...Thanks Richard,<br /><br />That's very kind of you - it was a blast trying to hone some 500,000 words into an intelligible 13,000 word article :) And it sounds like I might have sent you off to search the back issue boxes too.<br /><br />It would hard to be more committed to the book, though - it's been a labour of love spanning some two decades. When you see it, I think you'll realise why it's taken so long to achieve :) Right now, I'm in the midst of final revisions to the history part of the book, and about half-the-way-through.<br /><br />Thanks for your support - keep watching this blog and checking out mags like Back Issue for more details in the near future.Rob Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260640106869370070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132164737508891193.post-42209070206818491062013-05-28T04:51:12.366-07:002013-05-28T04:51:12.366-07:00Rob

As a long-standing British reader of Marvel comics since youth it was entertaining to read the publishing history in historic order, and to be reminded of a few titles I've since forgotten. <br /><br />I hope you can commit to From Cents to Pence again in future, as I think the subject deserves a first, comprehensive history.<br /><br />Best wishes, and thanks again for a great read<br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
