Comics is a visually stunning survey of the international comic book scene over the past sixty years.
Tracing the evolution of the “ninth art” from the 1960s onward, it explores Europe’s graphic humor and Barbarella, Japan’s avant-garde Garo, and the U.S. underground movement led by Robert Crumb’s Zap Comix.
Organized around twelve themes, the book showcases artists such as André Franquin, Osamu Tezuka, Moebius, Alison Bechdel, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, and Chris Ware. Featuring expert commentary, a new interview with Joe Sacco, and a foreword by Paul Gravett, it offers an immersive journey through six decades of comics history.
