It was a tough call between this and Comic Book Confidential for first place but I had to go with Masters Of Comic Book Art for a few reasons. First off Harlan Ellison who is so unintentionally funny when he tries to be off the cuff you find yourself laughing out loud hosts it. I was also attracted to the fact that the finite amount of artists it covers lets the documentary be incredibly in-depth. MOCBA includes Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, Moebius, Frank Miller, Dave Sim and Art Spiegelman.

Everyone represented here is a giant in the industry and this format allows them to talk frankly and in depth about their lives and inspirations. This documentary is worth it simply for Ditko’s section, which doesn’t show the man but plays a recorded message of him reading some kind of life mission. Sadly this is only available on VHS but it’s well worth it.

**WRITER’S NOTE: I know there is an amazing Documentary on Will Eisner out now but I haven’t seen it which is why I didn’t include it.
