to new and exciting places? 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

store. Inside this full-color hardcover are new articles, interviews,
and images about the people, places, characters, titles, moments, and

Titans, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Love and Rockets, Crisis ON
Infinite Earths, Superman vs. Spider-Man, Archie Comics, Harvey Comics,
Kiss, Star Wars, Rom, Hostess Cake ads, Grit(!), and other milestones!

stories, and feel the heat of Comic Book Fever once again! Written and

ADVANCE REVIEW: Comic Book Fever
Posted By Dan Greenfield on Aug 13, 2016Destined to become a bible of the Bronze Age.
There are certain comics projects that speak to me on a primal level and such is the case with George Khoury’s Comic Book Fever, due out 8/24 from TwoMorrows. (excerpt)
I was especially taken with his feature on Heroes World, whose illustrated catalogues were so tantalizing when I was 12. And reading Wolfman and George Perez talk about the beginnings of The New Teen Titans took me right back to 1980, when I used to risk my life riding my bike over a busy highway bridge in New Brunswick, N.J., to get the latest issue. |

Interview: George Khoury on Comic Book Fever
Friday, February 19, 2016 3:17:28 AM
George Khoury has written and co-written a number of books about comics including Kimota! The Miracleman Companion; Modern Masters volumes on Kevin Maguire, John Romita Jr., Ron Garney, and others; Age of TV Heroes; The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore; and many others. Comic Book Fever,
his new book from TwoMorrows, is scheduled to arrive in June. Khoury
told Westfield’s Roger Ash what to expect in this new volume.
Westfield: What is Comic Book Fever?
George Khoury: Comic Book Fever
is a book that celebrates the pivotal comics era of 1976-1986. It’s a
love letter to the medium, the era, and its creators, but it’s also a
bit more than that because every chapter and sidebar carry a story, and
all these stories together paint a larger picture of the entire comics
industry. We’ve added many layers to this book because we wanted to make
it fun and accessible to everyone. We tried to capture it all.
(excerpt)
Westfield: There are some interviews in the book. Who are some of the people you spoke to?
Khoury: I interviewed over seventy people for this
book during the five years that I worked on it. I used those interviews
to tell our story. Inside the book are folks such as Neal Adams, John
Romita, George Pérez, Marv Wolfman, Alan Moore, Denny O’Neil, Jim
Starlin, José Luis García-López, The Pinis, The Hernandez Brothers, The
Buscema Brothers, Stan Lee, Jack Davis, Rick Barry, Kevin Eastman, Chris
Claremont, Gerry Conway, and many others. We covered a ton of ground
here. |
