Fun and fast read
This is the second in a series of three, each of which can be enjoyed independent of the others -- no commitment to a series. After reading this one you will likely want to find the others. The first dealt with there. beginning of comic strips and the last with underground comics. This deals with the "golden age" with a cartoonist and strip similar to Orphan Annie and Harold Gray. The narrator is a pulp writer who scripts the series. Very good evocation of the place and time. Very engaging read.
