Description
The influence of the comic book has never been greater, but its journey from disposable kids' magazines to literary prize-winning books and global franchises began with a highly unusual group of writers and artists in the early 1970s. A small gathering of British comic book fans and creators sparked a cultural revolution, reinventing a medium and becoming the imaginative heart of a global success story. Based on years of interviews with leading writers, artists, and editors, Karl Stock reveals the true story of the wild times, passion, and determination that helped shape the future of comics. This book tells the story of the triumphs and disasters that rewrote the rulebook on what comics could be and who they should be for. Stock's account is a brilliant and detailed exploration of the key events, people, and ideas that defined this pivotal moment in comic book history.
