I visited a friend the other night who’s thinking of moving this summer. I came away with a few books as a result.

Here’s the list:

Di Liddo, Annalisa / Alan Moore: Comics as Performance, Fiction as Scalpel

Jung, Carl / Man and His Symbols

Pirenne, Henri / Medieval Cities: Their Origin and the Revival of Trade

Raphael, Jordan and Tom Spurgeon / Stan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book

Ro, Ronin / Tales to Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and the American Comic Book Revolution

Sikoryak, R. / Masterpiece Comics

Thompson, Dr. Hunter S. / Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72

Ware, Chris / Building Stories

Wilson, Angus / Anglo-Saxon Attitudes

X, Malcolm (and Alex Haley) / The Autobiography of Malcolm X
