The Graphic Novel: A Global History By Santiago García This book explores the history of the graphic novel from its early beginnings in European sequential art to its current global popularity. García examines the key innovations that have shaped the medium, including the development of newspaper strips and comic books. He also considers the cultural significance of comics as a popular form of storytelling, highlighting how they have evolved over time to become a respected and diverse art form. Through examples from around the world, García demonstrates how the graphic novel has become a model for global narrative production, empowering authors and challenging social prejudices against comics. By tracing the development of the graphic novel, García provides a nuanced understanding of this popular medium and its place in contemporary culture.
