Description

Filled with beautiful full-color art, dynamic storytelling, and insightful analysis, Hillary Chuteâ??s Why Comics? reveals what makes one of the most critically acclaimed and popular art forms unique and so appealing, and how it got that way. Over the past century, fans have elevated comics from the back pages of newspapers into one of our most celebrated forms of culture, from Fun Home , the Tony Awardâ??winning musical based on Alison Bechdelâ??s groundbreaking graphic memoir, to the dozens of superhero films that are annual blockbusters worldwide. What is the essence of comicsâ?? appeal? What does this art form do that others canâ??t?      Whether youâ??ve read every comic you can get your hands on or youâ??re just starting your journey, Why Comics? has something for you. Author Hillary Chute chronicles comics culture, explaining underground comics (also known as â??comixâ?) and graphic novels, analyzing their evolution, and offering fascinating portraits of the creative men and women behind them. Chute reveals why these worksâ??a blend of concise words and striking visualsâ??are an extraordinarily powerful form of expression that stimulates us intellectually and emotionally. Focusing on ten major themesâ??disaster, superheroes, sex, the suburbs, cities, punk, illness and disability, girls, war, and queernessâ??Chute explains how comics gets its messages across more effectively than any other form. â??Why Disaster?â? explores how comics are uniquely suited to convey the scale and disorientation of calamity, from Art Spiegelmanâ??s representation of the Holocaust and 9/11 to Keiji Nakazawaâ??s focus on Hiroshima.  â??Why the Suburbs?â? examines how the work of Chris Ware and Charles Burns illustrates the quiet joys and struggles of suburban existence; and â??Why Punk?â? delves into how comics inspire and reflect the punk movementâ??s DIY aestheticsâ??giving birth to a democratic medium increasingly embraced by some of todayâ??s most significant artists. Featuring full-color reproductions of more than one hundred essential pages and panels, including some famous but never-before-reprinted images from comics legends, Why Comics? is an indispensable guide that offers a deep understanding of this influential art form and its masters.
