The Lexicon of Comicana is the kind of n01 art, architecture & photography title that gets my attention fast.
The best books in this part of the shelf give you momentum first, then sneak up with character work. That is what I would want here too.
I would file this under books that could win me over fast if the execution is as confident as the title. It is listed with New York Review Books for 30-Sep-2025.
