From the very beginning of Clark Gablersquo;s screen career; the life of the glamorous film star came under the scrutiny of the camera. While audiences are familiar with the public Gable as seen through the studio lens; the private Gable as seen in photos taken by members of the public; friends; and family is much less known. This collection of candid photographs; many of them published here for the first time; has been compiled by biographer Chrystopher J. Spicer from his archives and from sources around the world. As with Spicerrsquo;s acclaimed centenary biography Clark Gable (McFarland; 2002); this volume provides rare insight into the life of the man behind the star.

Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Very very fun. insightful readBy skyla2186I dont know much about comics. but Im glad my first foray was with Bukatman! As a literature student I wasnt sure what I was getting myself into. but the book reads easily and intelligently even for novices in comics like myself. I was expecting a narrow. period-specific reading of Nemo and met instead a stylized. relevant musing on heroes. dreams. literary criticism. psychology. pop culture and art.While this book is framed around the Nemo comic strip. expect to see Benjamin. Morrison. Bachelard. Deleuze. Marx. Veblen and Ngai. to name an infinitesimal few. Take a look through the chapter headings. they can explain the impressive range of work this book performs better than I can.I think both novices and comic connoisseures would find this book both entertaining and useful.
