Over the centuries, comic books and their offshoots, such as
graphic novels, and bandes dessinees have evolved into a
phenomenally popular, influential, and unique art form with which
we can express our opinions, our fantasies, our nightmares, and our
dreams. In short: comics are emphatically no longer just for kids.
This diverse, constantly evolving medium is truly coming into its
own in the 21st century, from Hollywood's blockbuster adaptations
of super-powered caped crusaders to the global spread of Japan's
manga and its spinoffs, and from award-winning graphic novels such
as Maus and Persepolis to new forms such as online webcomix. But
comics also have a long and rich history, dating back at least to
the Swiss teacher Rodolphe Topffer in the early 19th century, and
far earlier in China.1001 Comic Books You Must Read Before You Die
is the perfect introduction to this dynamic and globally popular
medium. There have been other guides to the best comic books, but
none has embraced every genre and scoured the globe to glean the
very greatest works of sequential art, graphic literature, bandes
dessinees, tebeos, fumetti, manga, manhwa, komiks, strips,
historietas, quadrinhos, beeldverhalen, and plain old comics.This
authoritative guide is organized according to the year of first
publication in the country of origin. An opening section
acknowledges pioneering pre-1900 masterpieces, followed by sections
divided by decade, creating a fascinating year-by-year chronicle of
the comics medium worldwide.
