by Robert Sabin This first fully documented study explores the graphic qualities of the comic book, and the development of the genre into a sophisticated and culturally revealing popular art form. The book traces the history of the comic from early cartoon-like woodcuts through to the graphic strips of the 19th and 20th centuries. Organized thematically, it explores the various genres of the comic book, including humor, adventure, girls' comics, underground, and alternative. The careers of the creators' best-known characters - from Superman to Tintin to Tank Girl - are revealed, as also the stories behind the much-loved comics such as The Beano and The Incredible Hulk. The most recent artists are also illustrated and discussed, including Harvey Kurtzman (Mad) and Chris Donald (Viz), Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira). TP, 11x10, 240pg, PC (immagine)
