Whereas in English-speaking countries comics are for children or
adults 'who should know better', in France and Belgium the form is
recognized as the 'Ninth Art' and follows in the path of poetry,
architecture, painting and cinema. The bande dessinee [comic strip]
has its own national institutions, regularly obtains front-page
coverage and has received the accolades of statesmen from De Gaulle
onwards. On the way to providing a comprehensive introduction to
the most francophone of cultural phenomena, this book considers
national specificity as relevant to an anglophone reader, whilst
exploring related issues such as text/image expression, historical
precedents and sociological implication. To do so it presents and
analyses priceless manuscripts, a Franco- American rodent, Nazi
propaganda, a museum-piece urinal, intellectual gay porn and a
prehistoric warrior who's really Zinedine Zidane.
