“The Silver Age of Comic Book Art by Arlen Schumer is, quite simply, the
most beautiful book ever put together on comic art of the 1960s. He has
chosen his artist subjects flawlessly...and makes it seem all but inevitable
that these artists, this art, best represents the period which saw the flowering of a Silver Age that was, in many ways, a new Golden Age.”
by the dazzling examples of some of the finest illustrators of this or any
century, examples which are showcased in a manner so unique and so
daringly different that they can take your breath away. So, I happily extend
my heartiest congratulations to the extremely talented Arlen Schumer.
He has produced what is arguably the finest tribute to the most talented
practitioners of one of America’s truest and best loved art forms.

“Excelsior!”
“Not only is Arlen Schumer’s The Silver Age of Comic Book Art a spellbinding book about a magnificent art form, but it’s one of the publishing
world’s great rarities--a book about art which is itself as much a resplendent
work of art as the subject it so beautifully depicts. Every page of The Silver
Age of Comic Book Art is a visual feast for the eyes. In honoring those artists
whom the author considers the best of the best, Schumer, by virtue of his
stunning layouts, incredible use of color and brilliant selection of awesome
artwork, has proven himself one of the most exciting designers of all.“Even
if you have no interest in comic book art per se, one glance at the pages
of The Silver Age of Comic Book Art and you’ll find yourself hypnotized
