It can be really hard to look at a column of statistics and be able to make hide nor hair of them. A good infographic makes data more clear to the layman, and if designed well, they can actually make data fun.Tim Leong is a very good designer, a very good number cruncher, and he really likes comic books. And so we get “Super Graphic,” a book full of infographics about comic books. It’s an incredibly clever book, beautifully designed, and grand fun to read.Among the other infographics in the book are graphs analyzing common superhero tropes, manga, the heights and weights of various superheroes, the histories (and mergings) of many comic book publishers, the ingredients of pizzas preferred by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a comparison of superhero-themed roller coasters, the political leanings of comic book characters, the stats on Charlie Brown’s baseball team, the influence of comic books on hip hop, a flow chart on how the Punisher determines who he kills, and much, much, much more.My primary quibble with this book is that I kinda wanted all of the graphics to include useful data, and some of them are just there for the sake of silliness or showing off Leong’s design chops. For example, “A Personal History of Saying ‘Good Grief’ ” is just a black zigzag on a yellow background — in other words, the pattern on Charlie Brown’s shirt. It’s cute, but that’s about all it is.But again, that’s a quibble. I had a blast reading the book, pored over all the stats, gloried in the graphic design, and found plenty of things to laugh about and learn from. If you love comics — not just superheroes, but all kinds of comics — and you love the statistics and data and minutiae of hardcore comics continuity study, you should pick this up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Fun *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2014* When I learned of this book, I knew I had to have it.Super Graphic is a series of graphs—an entire books’ worth, in fact—that deal only with comic books. Each graph is typically quite clever in depicting an image along with information. Of course, this is a poplar medium at the moment called “infographics.”Some of the graphs include the evolution of the Superman logo over the last seventy-six years. Another includes the affiliations of over fifty Marvel characters such as Wolverine, Captain America, Spider-Man, and Luke Cage. Yet another breaks down the pizzas that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have enjoyed since their inception.By and large, the graphs are incredibly complex and fascinating to study. I cannot imagine the time, effort, and sheer amount of research required by Tim Leong to produce it. However, this book absolutely does not take itself too seriously. Some of the charts mean to make you laugh, and some are downright ludicrous.As a comic book lover, I can pick this book up anytime and find something new to appreciate. However, I think anyone interested in infographics or art will adore it as well. Furthermore, I value books that push traditional publishing standards, and this one does just that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, amazing book *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2013* Tim Leong constantly surprises me with the level of quality and accessibility to all of his work and Super Graphic is no exception. It's a piece of art that I recommend to any and everyone who has even a modicum of interest in the comic book subculture. The use of infographics continue to astound me as I never realized how much information could be packed into such a clear, concise image and I appreciate how varied the subject matter is. Whether you're a fan of men who dress like rodents or arachnids or into Euro-fare like Tin Tin this is the book for you.I'd also highly recommend picking up any backissues of his magazine Comic Foundry if you can find them. It might be a little dated but it's passion and heart are timeless. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2280431-super-graphic-a-visual-guide-to-the-comic-book-universe](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2280431-super-graphic-a-visual-guide-to-the-comic-book-universe) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
