Monte Beauchamp: Masterful Marks, Gebunden

Klappentext

In a first-of-its-kind collection, award-winning illustrators celebrate the lives of the visionary artists who created the world of comic art and altered pop culture forever.

Sixteen Graphic Novel Biographies of:

• Walt Disney • Dr. Seuss • Charles Schulz • The Creators of Superman • R. Crumb • Jack Kirby • Winsor McCay • Hergé • Osamu Tezuka • MAD creator, Harvey Kurtzman • Al Hirschfeld • Edward Gorey • Chas Addams • Rodolphe Töpffer • Lynd Ward • Hugh Hefner

The story of cartoons---the multibillion-dollar industry that has affected all corners of our culture, from high to low---is ultimately the story of the visionary icons who pioneered the form.

But no one has told the story of comic art in its own medium---until now.

In Masterful Marks, top illustrators---including Drew Friedman, Nora Krug, Denis Kitchen, and Peter Kuper---reveal how sixteen visionary cartoonists overcame massive financial, political, and personal challenges to create a new form of art that now defines our world.
