Missed It: Ben Schwartz on Cartoonist Biographies of Schulz, Caniff and Kirby

One of the best writers about comics going, Ben Schwartz, had a nice article in the LA Times over the weekend that's kind of half-survey, half-analysis. The best thing about it is that it looks into why these books are being published and provides the best answer through its compelling description of the cartoonists profiled: these are interesting, popular and skilled creators through which we can better understand their artistic contributions and certain generations of Americans.

Speaking of cartoonist biographies, for those of you following the back and forth between Schulz and Peanuts and the Schulz family, this seems to me the best of the recent articles I've read.

* Ben wrote in to apologize for the assertion in his article that Jack Kirby created rather than co-created Captain America
