Five naive young men drive to New York in search of love, sex, art, comic books and a glimpse at the city's wicked underbelly. What they encounter changes their lives forever. Visit a pivotal time as comics change from a business to an art form. Meet Allan Caldwell, horror artist, blacklisted since the 1950s for his testimony to the U.S. Congress. Tour the great American city during a period of social disintegration." 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Geek Culture Archeologist!!! By Walter Dickinsonon January 16, 2017 Format: Paperback Tower of the Comic Book Freaks is a glimpse into the origins of contemporary nerd and geek culture way before Big Bang Theory, Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen came along. It exists as both a tribute to the early days of comic book fandom and a love letter to 70’s “Taxi Driver” era New York City. The book focuses on collector and fan supreme Harold Friedman enroute to the big city to meet his artistic heroes and to hunt down some rare back issues of favorite comics. Friedman is immediately interesting because he is the quintessential outsider. He is an outsider to his general peers because he lives and breathes comic books. He is an outsider to his comic pals because he likes sports, is academically inclined and is an engineering school prospect. Finally he is an outsider as a Canadian visiting America and New York City, the birth place and cultural epicentre of the comic book and fandom. Tower of the Comic Book Freaks is the chronicle of Harold’s road trip to comic book mecca with young love, carnal temptation and a battle against disillusionment along for the ride. It mixes aspects of “The Graduate”,“Dazed and Confused” and Stan Lee into a very satisfying read. Buy a copy and get your comic book freak on! --Amazon Review.
