They were also no longer just following the adventures of popular characters--writers and artists with distinctive styles were in demand. DC Comics and Marvel went looking for such mavericks and found them in the United Kingdom. Creators like Alan Moore, Grant Morrison and Garth Ennis migrated from the anarchical British comics industry to the U.S. mainstream and shook up the status quo yet came to rely on the genius of the American system."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $x History and criticism. 830 0 $a Critical explorations in science fiction and fantasy ; $v 64. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305055050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5C0A9903F1711E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
