"The Chrysler engineers went through every combination that was possible. Whether it was different springs, different shocks, different sway bars, different weights.They had a book, it must have been about a two-by-three foot book It was a heck of an engineering force."
-Richard Petty
Seven-time NASCAR champion
Winner of 200 Grand National/Winston Cup races

Across decades of thrilling competition, many of NASCAR's greatest drivers-from Marvin Panch to Jim Paschal, Richard Petty to Buddy Baker, Bill Elliott to Ward Burton, Ryan Newman to Kasey Kahne-have thundered around America's legendary racetracks at the wheel of Chrysler Corporation's Dodge and Plymouth stock cars. Power, innovation, and design have characterized these remarkable vehicles, and NASCAR's record books have been written in the wake of their no-holds-barred competition.

Now, the full story of Chrysler's conquest of stock car racing is told in "TOP SPEED: Dodge and Plymouth Stock Car Racing." Written by award-winning motorsports journalist Frank Moriarty, this book begins with the corporation's first sales and earliest laps, then marches through the years, arriving in the present-day world of the NASCAR "Car of Tomorrow."

Like Moriarty's best-selling "SUNDAY DRIVERS: NASCAR Winston Cup Stock Car Racing" and the acclaimed "SUPERCARS: The Story of the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth SuperBird," this new book introduces you to all the machines that have made Chrysler's racing efforts so successful. But equally important are the men behind the wheel, and you'll meet them all-including a special section containing exclusive conversations with Richard Petty, Buddy Baker, Pete Hamilton, and the legendary crew chief Harry Hyde.

Great resource for comic book writers
Format: Paperback
This book is exactly as advertised: a great collection of comic scripts by some of the best writers in the field. This is important for two reasons: 1) There is no set format for comic scripts, so seeing examples of how other people write theirs is invaluable. 2) It can be hard to find sample comic scripts online, especially by the top names in the field. Here's nine of them in one shot. Reading this book will give you great insight into how comics are made, and also how some of the best creators in the field approach their craft.

Exactly what it says it is on the tin.
Format: Paperback
It's a collection of comic book scripts, written by some of the best in the business. I'd love it if there were more examples of the finished product, and a step-by-step of back-and-forth between writer and the rest of the creative team would be awesome, but if what you really want is examples of the real deal, this is it.

Great book
Format: Paperback
This is very similar to Panel Two, which I bought because of certain comic book writers that I enjoyed. Panel One is basically the same, which provide examples and even so "how to's" and "why's that" type of information.

GOOD BUY!!!
Format: Paperback
I love this book. If you are interested in how comics are made do yourself a favor. Also pick up the WIll Eisner textbook trilogy.
