This book is an updated history of the American comic book by an industry insider. You'll follow the development of comics from the first appearance of the comic book format in the Platinum Age of the 1930s to the creation of the superhero genre in the Golden Age, to the current period, where comics flourish as graphic novels and blockbuster movies. Along the way you will meet the hustlers, hucksters, hacks, and visionaries who made the American comic book what it is today. It's an exciting journey, filled with mutants, changelings, atomized scientists, gamma-ray accidents, and supernaturally empowered heroes and villains who challenge the imagination and spark the secret identities lurking within us.

This book explores how the heroes and villains of popular comic books—and the creators of these icons of our culture—reflect the American experience out of which they sprang, and how they have achieved relevance by adapting to, and perhaps influencing, the evolving American character. Multiple generations have thrilled to the exploits of the heroes and villains of American comic books. These imaginary characters permeate our culture—even Americans who have never read a comic book grasp what the most well-known examples represent. But these comic book characters, and their creators, do more than simply thrill: they make us consider who we are and who we aspire to be. Icons of the American Comic Book: From Captain America to Wonder Woman contains 100 entries that provide historical background, explore the impact of the comic-book character on American culture, and summarize what is iconic about the subject of the entry. Each entry also lists essential works, suggests further readings, and contains at least one sidebar that provides entertaining and often quirky insight not covered in the main entry. This two-volume work examines fascinating subjects, such as how the superhero concept embodied the essence of American culture in the 1930s; and the ways in which comic book icons have evolved to reflect changing circumstances, values, and attitudes regarding cultural diversity. The book's coverage extends beyond just characters, as it also includes entries devoted to creators, publishers, titles, and even comic book related phenomena that have had enduring significance.

« The World Encyclopedia of Comics is the first comprehensive survey of this universally popular art form. Covering in two volumes the vast field of comic art since its inception, this monumental work contains more than 1200 cross-referenced entries in alphabetical order on comic features, artists and writers from the United States and the world. The biographical entries provide a summary of the most important author's lives and careers, with emphasis on their work in the comic field, their stylistic and theme contributions, their influence on other artists, and their achievements in general. Bibliographical entries provide a brief history of outstanding features, including the names of the artists and writers who worked on them, summaries of theme and plot, a description of the main characters, the place held by the particular feature in the history and art of the comics, and its adaptations into other media. Included in this World Encyclopedia is : a global history of comic art; a chronology of the most important events in the history of comics; an analytical summary relating the comics to other aspects of the twentieth-century culture; a glossary of comics terms; a bibliography; a number of appendices; and a 10,000-name index. Over 800 illustrations, many in color, accompany the entries and the various sections, providing a unique visual record of the styles and achievements of the world's major comic artists. More than 12 authors from ten countries and four continents have contributed to the realization of this work. These contributors, each outstanding in his own field, have brought to the book their own insights and perspectives, making it truly a world encyclopedia, in style and in outlook as well as in scope. The World Encyclopedia of Comics should prove an invaluable reference tool for the researcher, and an endless source of entertainment for the general reader. To scholars and laymen, it is the one indispensable work on every aspect of the field of comic art. »--Rabat de la jaquette.
