SUPER GRAPHIC VISUAL GUIDE TO COMIC BOOK UNIVERSE

The comic book universe is adventurous, mystifying, and filled with heroes, villains, and cosplaying ComicCon attendees. This book by one of Wired magazine's art directors traverses the graphic world through a collection of pie charts, bar graphs, timelines, scatter plots, and more. From a colorful breakdown of the DC Comics reader demographic to a witty Venn diagram of superhero comic tropes and a Chris Ware sadness scale, this book charts the most arbitrary and monumental characters, moments, and equipment of the wide world of comics.
