Good long read articles about comics?

[Bodhi396]

I'm wondering if anyone has links to any really good longer articles about comics or the history of comics? More 'think pieces' on topics like say the 90s comic crash or Jack Kirby v. Stan Lee debate.

 

I'm having a comic week on my blog and am looking for some good content to post. My blog isn't a comic blog normally but I wanted to post interesting articles that might appeal to a general audience or someone curious about the more untold stories of comics. If anyone's interested my blog is at www.vintagezen.com

You could embed all 5 parts of (youtube) the "Jack Kirby: Storyteller" documentary.

 

It's a good one, lots of history. Here's Part 1:

This site is fun, interesting and very well done:

Two great links. There's also a BBC documentary on YouTube about Steve Ditko which is well done.

Hunt down the first 50 issues of Comic Book Marketplace magazine...invaluable information in the early issues.

This blog site doesn't appear to have recent updates but I enjoy looking through the old Bullpen Bulletins - http://bullpenbulletins.blogspot.com/
