Description
Presents a history and an outlook on the genre of fiction known as "Graphic novels", which began in the early 1950s and, according to the author, their popularity is growing rapidly.
Description
Graphic novels have exploded off bookstore shelves into movies, college courses, and the New York Times book review, and comics historian and children's literature specialist Stephen Weiner explains the phenomenon in this groundbreaking book-the first history of graphic novels. From the agonizing Holocaust vision of Art Spiegelman's *Maus* to the teenage angst of Dan Clowes's *Ghost World*, this study enters the heart of the graphic novel revolution. The complete history of this popular format is explained, from the first modern, urban autobiographical graphic novel, Will Eisner.
