Description
A comprehensive survey of the international comic book landscape over the past sixty years, Comics (1964-2024) brings together a diverse range of artists and styles to showcase the medium's evolution. From its emergence as a sophisticated art form in the 1960s to its current abstract contemporary styles, this book explores the medium's development through twelve themes. Featuring artists such as André Franquin, Gotlib, Claire Bretécher, Osamu Tezuka, Moebius, Edmond Baudoin, Alison Bechdel, Ulli Lust, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi and Chris Ware, among others, the book is accompanied by introductions on each theme by leading authorities of the form. A brand new interview with renowned cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco and a foreword by Paul Gravett add to the book's richness. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at Centre Pompidou, Paris, this book offers a timely and immersive odyssey of the medium, exploring its many worlds and the creative forces that have shaped it over the past six decades.
