 * Hey Kids! Comics! - Collects #1-5. "Artists and writers, con men and clowns, ganefs and gangsters create the foundations of today’s biggest entertainment business—or at least the tail that wags the dog. Some of it really happened, and the names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty… …although in the end, everyone was guilty of something." - -


 * Hey Kids! Comics!, vol 2: Prophets & Loss - Collects vol. 2 #1-6. "Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always-entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business, volume two tells the story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common denominator—at their own peril—and those happy enough to ride the waves others created. Along the way there's exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom toilet paper, death at the dinner table, and plenty more, as fans turn pro and pros turn bitter." - -  -


 * Hey Kids! Comics!, vol 3: The Schlock of the New - Collects vol. 3 #1-6. "It all begins with a generation of artists who view their life's work as dismal failures and a waste of that life...in service to a medium that refuses to die, grinding its way through generation after generation...until it collides with creatives who can't even begin to imagine why anyone would ever want to do anything else. This is the history of comic books, alongside the misbegotten midwife whose growth, whose refusal to truly grow, serves as its decades-long and distorted mirror...Fandom." - -  - (forthcoming, December 2023)
