This is an amazing book, with a story that is simply brilliant. It's all about family and those we love and cherish and depend on most of our lives. There were parts that had me laughing out loud while others had me tearing up. Young wanna-be comic writers, do yourself a big favor and pick up MAN IN THE MASK. This is how you do comics right.

What readers are saying about MAN IN THE MASK
Just finished MAN IN THE MASK: Loved it! Excited about the world and characters you've created. Can't wait to see more. Great twist with the ********* and *******. Well done!

Loved it. Refreshing to read. Cool characters. A world where it seems not that far away. Takes me back to a simpler time for comics, but fun nonetheless.

If it takes you 15 plus years to do something, then you've got a lot of time to think about it and live with it, and after all that time, it will probably be perfect. Mike W. Belcher's "Man in the Mask" is perfect. I mean, I can't even stop looking at the company logo in wide-eyed admiration! (That's AMK Comics, by the way.)
This is a true COMIC - slash - BOOK. It's a true comic in the sense that it has a real (dare I say it?) "old world" comics feel. (I know, I know - "old school" is the correct term, but I can't plug my company with Old School Comics!) The MAN IN THE MASK is a true mystery man from back in the day, and the comic itself feels soooo pulpy - you have to love it! But old school comics (okay - happy now?) were never this vibrant in black and white (or grayscale) as this book. It is the best black and white format I've ever seen. Just to look at this comic is a joy.
But it's a true book, as well. Its readable without art. That's all you need to say about comic book writing. If the story can stand alone, then you've got literature. A lot of comics don't have that and believe they don't need that. You do, and "Man in the Mask" has it.
If you believe that comics should be exciting to look it, moving to read, fun and filled with believable characters with a strong sense of hope and goodness, then you'll want a copy of "Man in the Mask".

The writing is fun and moves the story along. The art is charming and the storytelling clear and accessible. I enjoyed the story and look forward to the rest, especially the narrator's journey.
