The medium is the message! Comics come in many forms, from all
around the world. What better way to discover them than through a
comic book? The bestselling, mind-blowing graphic history of our
favorite medium continues-now focusing on specific regions of the
world and their contributions to the comic book art form. The
Graphic Novel! From its Swiss roots in 1835 to today's American
bestseller lists, with crucial spin-offs in France and Belgium. The
British Invasion! 2000 AD had a big impact in 1986, as creators
from across the pond elevated storytelling to new heights, but the
British tradition stretches back much further. Manga! Japanese
artists also have a long history of graphic storytelling, but
ninjas, mecha, and magical girls have taken the world by storm in
recent decades, and those are only scratching the surface.
Undiscovered territory! Comics and their characters are everywhere,
for everyone! From the digital revolution to comic characters in
film, comics have never been more widely available, or appealed to
more diverse audiences. Now in color, with added features,
