Publisher's Note Exhaustive in scope, this detail-packed book includes a history of comics that reaches back to pre-Columbian picture manuscripts and Egyptian monuments, an explanation of how sequential art is constructed and why, and a running analysis of comics as art, literature, and communication. Illustrations throughout.
Praised throughout the cartoon industry by such luminaries as Art Spiegelman, Matt Groening, and Will Eisner, this innovative comic book provides a detailed look at the history, meaning, and art of comics and cartooning.
Industry Reviews "Should be primary reading for anybody who wants to present information in its most potently concentrated form--that is, through images....There's a brilliant discussion of comic art...but the discussion approaches an understanding of much more than comics:...graphic design...language...perception, semiotics...and more." Millennium Whole Earth Catalog - James Donnelly
