Synopsis: |
While there are many debates about when the medium of words married with pictures first evolved into what we know today as comics - be it in nascent prehistoric paintings in the caves of France or the more traditional illustrated adventures of such characters as the Katzenjammer Kids which first appeared at the end of the nineteenth century - virtually everyone born in the last one hundred years has read or seen a comic strip at one time in their lives. In an exhaustive historical overview that captures the magic and innovation of this incredibly vibrant art form Jerry Robinson, comics historian, award-winning comics artist and co-creator of the popular Batman villain, The Joker, takes us on a journey from the beginning of the comic strip industry to the present day in "The Comics". Originally published in the early 1970s, this volume has been revised and updated to include commentary on the last thirty years of comics history: from "Mutt & Jeff" to "Calvin & Hobbes", from George Herrimann's "Krazy and Ignatz" to Patrick McDonnell's "Mutts", Jerry Robinson brings the history of this great industry alive for a new generation. |
