The book traces comics' evolution up to the emergence of today's global, digital scene and the medium's likely future. Robert Crumb and Gabrielle Bell, Jack Kirby and Alan Moore, M oebius, Yumiko Oshima and Osamu Tezuka are just a few of the hundreds of artists and writers included - making it unprecedented in its global reach. The broad reach of Comics extends to artists, styles and movements, spanning Marvel and DC superheroes; the Underground movement and manga powerhouse Osamu Tezuka; politically charged Italian fumetti and sexually charged ladies' manga; the Francophone technique of ligne claire; sci-fi; Métal Hurlant; the pioneering Japanese alternative journal Garo; the graphic memoir and the graphic novel; and, finally, the moment comics made the jump from page to web page. Featuring the best-known artists and writers - from Jack Kirby, Hergé and Moebius to Katsuhiro Otomo, Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore - Comics also introduces readers to some creators they may not yet have encountered, such as Andrea Pazienza, the Fort Thunder collective and Fabrice Neaud.
