Focusing especially on American comic books and graphic novels from
the 1930s to the present, this massive four-volume work provides a
colorful yet authoritative source on the entire history of the
comics medium. Comics and graphic novels have recently become big
business, serving as the inspiration for blockbuster Hollywood
movies such as the Iron Man series of films and the hit television
drama The Walking Dead. But comics have been popular throughout the
20th century despite the significant effects of the restrictions of
the Comics Code in place from the 1950s through 1970s, which
prohibited the depiction of zombies and use of the word "horror,"
among many other rules. Comics through Time: A History of Icons,
Idols, and Ideas provides students and general readers a one-stop
resource for researching topics, genres, works, and artists of
comic books, comic strips, and graphic novels. The comprehensive
and broad coverage of this set is organized chronologically by
volume. Volume 1 covers 1960 and earlier; Volume 2 covers
1960-1980; Volume 3 covers 1980-1995; and Volume 4 covers 1995 to
the present. The chronological divisions give readers a sense of
the evolution of comics within the larger contexts of American
culture and history. The alphabetically arranged entries in each
volume address topics such as comics publishing, characters,
imprints, genres, themes, titles, artists, writers, and more. While
special attention is paid to American comics, the entries also
include coverage of British, Japanese, and European comics that
have influenced illustrated storytelling of the United States or
are of special interest to American readers. Provides historical
context within individual entries that allows readers to grasp the
significance of that entry as it relates to the broader history and
evolution of comics Includes coverage of international material to
frame the subsets of American and British comics within a global
context Presents information that will appeal and be of use to
general readers of comics and supply coverage detailed enough to be
of significant value to scholars and teachers working in the field
of comics
