Comic Book Confidential is a great documentary and I highly recommend it to anyone with a love of comic books.  Hell, even if you don’t like comic books the film provides a very entertaining history of the medium.

Comic Book Confidential, with an introduction by director Ron Mann, is on Saturday, May 2nd, at 11:59 PM at Innis College Town Hall. That’s 2 Sussex Ave., one block south of Bloor and St. George.
