Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

fitzapril The film Comic Book Confidential by director Ron Mann was made in 1988. A great documentary for people who are new to comic books and want to learn the brief history. The film treated comics with respect. One is able to go behind the scene and into the amazing minds of the comic book writers and illustrators. The film does a great job of summarizing the evolution of the comic world, starting with the creator William M. Gaines' father, to the 1988 modern day writers. It left each subject with a lack of information because everything could not not of been said in such a short period of time. The video gave a perfect overview of comics in all its forms.

livdavison Not being an avid comic book reader, I found Ron Mann's insightful documentary to be revealing and informative. This film sheds light on how much of an impact comic books and their artist have in our culture, history, and society. From political satires, to old tales of classic superheroes, horror and action filled comics, Mann covers a base on all genres in the comic book world. The style in which Mann delivers this film has the viewer flying across the pages of some of the most cherished comic books. I thought it was a create and balancing introduction to those who have never even heard of some of the artists and comic books that are still well known to this day. Those new to comics and those who are proud junkies can enjoy this pleasant and informative documentary that will have the viewer turning the "page" to find out what happens next.

brittney-mcclellan I've read comics before, but i'm not an avid comic book reader, and until this film I had no idea of the great history behind comic books. This film is tailored to educate and entertain everyone from the most avid comic book readers to the people that know nothing about comics. The film did a fantastic job at going through the history of comics and hitting on all of the aspects of comic books and comic book writers. I do, however, wish there was more about women's involvement in comics. Comic Book Confidential is filled with great interviews from both well-known and not-so-well-known writers, and is filled with great insight into the rich history of comic books.

gonjamon99 The previous comment was incorrect!Bill Griffith did publish at least one comic "book" entitled "Are we having fun yet?"BTW, the movie was GOOD. Another good Ron Mann movie I recommend is Grass.Cheers!!!
