Best American Comics Criticism
Book (Item 577221) Fantagraphics, 2010 — Condition: New Copy
A damn good collection of writing on comics – and not just the usual highbrow words on lowbrow subjects you might think! Editor Ben Schwartz brings together material from a wide range of writers – some of them even comics figures themselves – and divides the book into a few historical articles, a few fan-based essays, and some especially nice appraisals of comic topics ranging from Will Eisner to Little Orphan Annie to David Boring and John Stanley. The book ends with some additional reviews and interviews – and at 360 pages, it packs a hell of a punch! Includes some black and white images – and writings by Douglas Wolk, Robert C Harvey, John Updike, Chris Ware, Dan Clowes, Seth, John Hodgman, Will Elder, Alan Moore, and many others! (Please Note: These copies have a remainder mark.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
