Award winning director Ron Mann's loving, comic-book-style homage provides the inside scoop on one of the most colorful and popular of all American art forms. From the fantastic adventures of superheroes "Spider-man," "Captain America," and "Natman" to the realism of "American Splendor," and from the terror of "Tales From the Crypt" to the sophisticated commentary of "Maus" and the pure insanity of "Mad," "Comic Book Confidential" treats comics with the esteem they deserve.
