American Comics: A History by Jeremy Dauber

4.0

From The Yellow Kid (1895) to Watchmen (1986), from Winsor McCay (Little Nemo in Slumberland) to Robert Crumb (Zap, Fritz the Cat, The Book of Genesis) and all points in between; 592 pages of dense text and not one goddamn illustration. But if you’re serious about the storied history of American comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels (and you are willing to google all your visual references) you have come to the right place.
