Otto Binder was a kind of titan, a precursor of the gods because he came up with basic primordial forms that later writers would perhaps polish to a greater luster. But Binder hewed them out of solid rock. He was mining the raw material. Alan Moore, author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta Bill Schelly has an obsessive yet intelligent passion for things many might consider marginal if not bizarre always the mark of an interesting mind. Tom Robbins, author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Bill Schelly has done an amazing job of capturing Otto and his family and friends, and explaining in an interesting way why his work was so important and precedent-setting. Michael Uslan, executive producer of The Dark Knight Rises Schelly truly brings Binder alive on the page. He crafts a candid and sympathetic portrait that makes you feel that you have gotten to know the man almost as vividly as if you had met him in real life. Paul Gravett, Comic Book Marketplace
