Following the publication of the original Heroes of the Comics, this volume features 100 more portraits by cartoonist Drew Friedman, each accompanied by a brief biography. Chosen for their contributions to the comic book industry over the last 50 years, the writers, artists, editors and publishers who are depicted include Curt Swan, whose version of Superman is said to have inspired the 1978 film; Marc Swayze, a scriptwriter for Captain Marvel; and George Tuska, who drew for DC Comics.
