Description

The history of comics for older readers spans over a century. This comprehensive survey takes in the pioneering titles from the late 19th century to the present day, covering comics from the United States, Europe and Japan. From underground 'comix' of the 1960s and 1970s to the boom of the 1980s and 1990s, including 'graphic novels' and Viz., Roger Sabin explores the cultural significance and impact of adult comics on society. Sabin's work addresses key issues such as the graphic novel in context, cultural overspill, and the role of women. By examining a broad range of topics and periods, he challenges the notion that comics 'grew up' in the late 1980s, which was largely invented by the media. This book is intended primarily for student use but is written with the comic enthusiast in mind. Published in 1993, Adult Comics: An Introduction provides a valuable insight into the world of adult comics and their place within popular culture.
