No; but, when I was in college, in the late 80s, I was able to write a paper on the history of comics, for a 20th Century America History class and was able to find a ton of material in the library (University of Illinois, one of the largest in the country), as well as my own books. The library had things like Richard Lupoff and Don Thompson's All in Color For a Dime and The Comic Book Book. I had Jules Feiffer's The Great Comic Book Heroes, Will Jacobs and Gerard Jones The Comic Book Heroes, Jeff Rovin's Encyclopedia of Super Heroes (and the Super-Villain one), and Ron Goulart's first comic history book. I was able to show how the characters and changes in material reflected the society of each decade and the changes they went through. Got an A on it. Dark Knight and Watchmen were still new, so I got to use them in there, for the wrap-up.

Would have loved to have been able to read Maus in school; but, it wasn't finished yet. It was still only in Raw, when I was in college and volume one came out while I was in the Navy.
