I enjoy reading non-fiction about comic history, various artists, and the like. Right now, I'm finishing The History of the DC Universe and will start Comic Shop next. Can anyone recommend any books on that get into the creative, artistic, editorial, or other aspects of actual comic creation? I need some resources for a work project.

Thanks!

Ooh, sounds like one I will like. Thanks!

I really enjoyed biographies on Al Capp and George Herriman, both were excellent.

I also read an excellent one on Will Eisner, I think it was this one https://www.wired.com/2015/11/will-eisner-biography-gallery/

Oh, and here is one I own. Read it a few years ago, maybe time for another viewing.

I liked Marvel Comic: The Untold Story, however I can 't help wanting to hear someone else's  side of the story. Wish Jim Shooter would write a book. (Don't know if Untold fits into the style of comic-related book you're looking for) I'm sure Stan Lee's gotta book but who-the-heck knows who wrote it. 

Do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT get "Slugfest: the battle between DC and Marvel. Not very good. I tried to give my copy away and no one wanted it. Left it on top of a phone booth in Hollywood.
