Name: Top 10 Comic Book Heroes
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 50 min
Rating: 7.2
Cast: Tom Baker, John Byrne, Paul Gravett

Both informative and entertaining look at the world of comics

Rather short (about 46 minutes running time) but still quite interesting look at "comics" from the U.S., the "manga" as they are called in Japan, and yes, even Belgian comic strips get a mention! Well, maybe deservedly so, as Belgium has had a definite tradition and a history of comic strips for quite some time.

Hosted by the one and only Tom "Dr. Who" Baker, and featuring among others, people like Stan Lee, John Byrne, and Frank Miller, all of whom helped shape and re-shape the world of comic books throughout past decades and beyond.

I recommend this to anyone with an interest in comics.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people.
