Historia
Starting with the Civil War and cartoonist Thomas Nast, creator of the lasting images of Uncle Sam and Santa Claus, author Jeremy Dauber whizzes listeners through the progress of comics in the 20th century and beyond. Follow the history from the golden age of newspaper comic strips - Krazy Kat, Yellow Kid, Dick Tracy - to the midcentury superhero boom - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman - and from the moral panic of the Eisenhower era to the underground comix movement; from the grim and gritty Dark Knights to the graphic novel’s rise.

Historia
In the pantheon of serial killers, Belle Gunness stands alone. She was the rarest of female psychopaths, a woman who engaged in wholesale slaughter, partly out of greed but mostly for the sheer joy of it. Between 1902 and 1908, she lured a succession of unsuspecting victims to her Indiana “murder farm". Some were hired hands. Others were well-to-do bachelors. All of them vanished without a trace.

Can a book about a serial killer be entertaining?

A certainly thorough if a bit meandering study
Revisado: 05-10-18
Very interesting case. I found myself better informed, of how people lived in the early part of the last century. The quest for more money, for example, above all else, and the unimaginable way some predators get it. As for the subject herself, I'm not regretting the journey to knowing her better, tho' most of pathways were very dark. This is another good book for those interested in crime and psychological thrillers.
It does fly off on some unrelated tangents ( other crimes, for example, and some supposedly related reactions by contempories) There are also very detailed newspaper accounts as well. If, however, this audio does meander it is what I want an audio book to do and this one kept my interest!

Sharply written. You can feel the ease and the urgency of the writer in the prose. A mix of the case history and personal stories.
