Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels
A History of Comic Art
Encompassing traditions from the USA, Britain, Europe and Japan, this is the first fully documented study to explore the graphic qualities of the comic book and the development of the genre into a sophisticated, culturally revealing popular art form. Organized thematically it explores the various comic-book genres, including humour, adventure, underground and alternative, and introduces the creators behind some of the most famous comic characters.
