Organized thematically it explores the various genres of the comic book - including humour, adventure, girls' comics, underground and alternative.\nThe fascinating careers of the creators of the best-known characters - from Superman and Tintin to Tank Girl - are revealed in depth, as are the stories behind the much-loved comics such as Beano and The Incredible Hulk. The most recent artists are also illustrated and discussed, including Harvey Kurtzman (Mad), Chris Donald (Viz), Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0714839930\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0714839930.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sabin, Roger\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44452970561597,"sku":"BVV.0714839930.VG","price":12.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0714839930-0.jpg?v=1793916201","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/comics-comix-graphic-novels","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
