What is it that makes comics so special? What can this unique art form do that others can't? In Comics for Grownups, comics scholar Hillary Chute reveals the history of comics, underground comics (or comix), and graphic novels, through deep thematic analysis, and fascinating portraits of the fearless men and women behind them. As Scott McCloud revealed the methods behind comics and the way they worked in his classic Understanding Comics, Chute will reveal the themes that Comics handle best, and how the form is uniquely equipped to explore them. The topics Comics for Grownups will cover include: - Why Disaster: with such major works focusing on disasters, from Art Spiegelman's work, which covers the Holocaust and 9/11 to Keiji Nakazawa's work covering Hiroshima, comics find themselves uniquely suited to convey the scale and disorientation of disaster. - Why Suburbs: through the work of Chris Ware and Charles Burns, Chute reveals the fascinating ways that Comics illustrate the quiet joys and struggles of suburban existence. - Why Punk: With an emphasis on DIY aesthetics and rebelling against what came before, the Punk movement would prove to be a fertile ground for some of the most significant modern cartoonists, creating a truly democratic art form. Chute has created an indispensable guide to comics for those new to the genre, or those who want to understand more about what lies behind their favorite works"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Influence on mass media. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Superheroes in literature. 650 0 $a Cartooning. 941 $a 14 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816050855.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716022044.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014415.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012936.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203065902.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022624.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110072912.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116062536.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113130.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010636.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180227010906.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180202012307.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180126073133.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20171216010352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0DD6F24E22E11E7BCFAE02D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
