One of four volumes dealing with the world of comic art, this
volume is a comprehensive, international bibliography dealing with
animation, caricature, gag, illustrative, magazine, and political
cartoons in the United States and Canada. Reflecting the
substantial growth of comic art literature in recent years, it is
representative of various types of publications, writing formats
and styles, and languages from all over the world. The four volumes
attempt for the first time to pull together the massive amount of
comic art literature worldwide.
Organized with meticulous detail, the work consists of numerous
resources, including an annotated directory of 66 comic art-related
periodicals; a section of comic art functions, activities, and
relationships with various socio-cultural phenomena, such as
education, eroticism, ethnicity, race, social consciousness, and
violence; as well as historical and contemporary parts on
animation, caricature, gag cartoons, and political cartoons. At
least 224 animators, caricaturists, and cartoonists are singled out
for special prominence. Business, legal, and technical aspects of
each genre make up other categories. The book is enhanced by
Maurice Horn's foreword, retracing the pioneer work he and others
did in the field of comic art studies. To further help the user,
the indices are systematically broken down by authors, cartoonists,
characters and titles, periodicals, and subjects.
