I read about this one on Amazon, and then took this brief from the publisher's site:

[font=arial,sans-serif]I Love Comics[/font][font=verdana,sans-serif]Comics have been around for at least a century, but the rise of the graphic novel in recent years has elevated the form to a new level of prominence and ''respectability''. The world can no longer deny that this form of visual communication is extremely powerful in expressing ideas, opinions and points of view to all ages.
[/font][font=verdana,sans-serif]I Love Comics[/font][font=verdana,sans-serif] explores the lifestyles of the creators and exposes how strands of fantasy and everday life are woven together to create compelling, involving stories. As one might expect, this book features a selection of the best illustrations, plots and designs from contemporary comics and graphic novels; but it also goes beyond these fundamentals to include revealing interviews with popular comic artists from around the world, and the fans who devour their work. Works include art from Julie Doucet, Renee French, Junko Mizuno, Tony Millionaire, Dave Cooper, James Jarvis, Michael Lau, and many more.[/font]

Rather pricey, but it does seem like something interesting.
