“A best book of the year. Erickson is one of those select few writers who can always be counted on to produce a quality book. His writing is informative, breezy, and most entertaining. I never have to worry about the information contained in one of his books; in fact, I learn a great deal from his impeccable research…he also sprinkles his text with interesting tidbits. Erickson is one of our best and most knowledgeable authors, seemingly able to write about anything entertainment related. This new book is no exception…. Erickson has given us a substantial history of these films and series…a pleasure to read and I recommend you get this excellent book.”—Classic Images; “Erickson achieves an awesome stance in this ware: not only is it a respectful, comprehensive gathering of precise facts, he urges readers to explore beyond mere sampling...results in something for a casual reader to devour”—Sperdvac Radiogram.
