Paul Williams

Dreaming the Graphic Novel: The Novelization of Comics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the early history of the graphic novel in the 1970s, after the term was coined but before this art form achieved popular success and critical acclaim. Unearthing a treasure trove of fanzines, adverts, and unpublished letters, it gives readers an exciting inside look at a pivotal moment in the development of the graphic novel.
