When your heart was an open book, and you didn’t apologize for loving the comic books and creators that gave you bliss? Comic Book Fever relives that timeless era of 1976 to 1986, when comics offered all kinds of different genres to any kid with a pocketful of coins, at local establishments from 7-Elevens to your local drug store. Inside this full-color hardcover are new articles, interviews, and images about the people, places, characters, titles, moments, and good times that inspired and thrilled us all.
