It lacks much in the way of illustrative support, so casual fans may have to go searching online for visuals to accompany the words, but long-time fans will be able to sit comfortably while the people who made and contributed to the weekly publication (writers, artists, and editors) tell their tales, without any V/O narrator or audible prompts of the many (mostly male) interviewees.
Pat Mills has the most to say, but there's insight from John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra, Kevin O'Neill, Cam Kennedy, Peter Milligan, Leah Moore, Dave Gibbons, Grant Morrison, etc. With the personal approach comes a lot of biased opinion and a fair amount of contradiction, which is insightful in itself, if not wholly trustworthy; some lingering grievances are even aired.
