Looking for some good Coffee Table books on Comic Book History. There are so many was wondering if anybody had some favorites.

So far I only have "From Krakow to Krypton: Jews in Comic Books" - which I find fascinating.

It doesnt have to be a large book as long as content is good and visually appealing as well.

Steranko's history of comics vol 1 and 2

The series, American Comic Book Chronicles, by TwoMorrows Publishing covers everything from 1940 through 1999, except 1945-1949, which should come out early next year. John Morrow ran a panel at SDCC stating that he ran a kickstarter campaign to keep the series in print. The books are simply amazing and comprehensive.

I was only missing the 80s volume. That book was selling for hundreds before this reprint
