    Who's Who books are generally viewed as vanity publications. And the more topic-specific the Who's Who is, the greater its likelihood of existing solely to make money from those listed within it.

    A Who's Who of small press comic books is something that would only be sold to those who've submitted their biographies to it.

    There's certainly no market for such a book.

    The only Who's Who book of any value whatsoever is the Marquis Who's Who, in that it is often kept in public libraries as a reference source.

    The Marquis includes smalll press writers, artists, and publishers whose works are considered significant enough to warrant inclusion. Had Will Donkey, or "Shaman," any cultural significance, his name and bio would have been included.

    Perhaps the editors of that volume just didn't know about me.

    It wasn't called "Underground Comix" for nothing.
