Explore the secret world between the panels, through the lines, and within the hidden symbols of a powerful but misunderstood art form.

why is art?

a few of his lines of argument are kind of dubious; but he never claims to be the last word on anything.

overall it's a good book about the form & history of comics; and it ties it to art in general as well.
