Following a rather insightful prologue, Sean Howesees fit to treat all of us with continuing lessons regarding the never ending legacy of Marvel Comics.  Not only does the author succeed in informing his audience but he also entertains us.  As he paints a visceral picture with quotes and facts he clearly make the case that one of the top comic publishers in the country was, from the get-go, an imperfect struggling entity that caused tension for all involved and somehow managed to be passed from generation to generation.
