Inhaltsangabe

A brilliantly illustrated survey of the international comic book landscape over the past sixty years. Published to accompany a major exhibition at Centre Pompidou, Paris in May 2024, this is a timely reframing of the international comics landscape over the past six decades.

From the mid-1960s, the world of comics rapidly evolved into a highly creative art form for a sophisticated readership: in France, the magazine Hara-Kiri provided new terrains for graphical humour, while the adventures of Jean-Claude Forest's Barbarella were published in albums by Éric Losfeld; the launch in Japan of Garo in 1964, an avant-garde monthly, presented the concept of auteur comics; and the release of Robert Crumb's Zap Comix in 1968 established his reputation as the leader of the underground comics movement in the United States.

For the first time, this major historical survey of the ninth art establishes a dialogue between the three leading regions of comic book culture - Europe, Asia and America - and offers an immersive odyssey of the medium through its development over six decades ranging from the explosion of the twentieth-century counterculture scene to the most abstract contemporary styles.

Built around twelve themes encompassing the many worlds of the comics imagination, Comics: 1964-2024 features artists including André Franquin, Gotlib, Claire Bretécher, Osamu Tezuka, Moebius, Edmond Baudoin, Alison Bechdel, Ulli Lust, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi and Chris Ware, as well as introductions on each theme by leading authorities of the form, a brand new interview with renowned cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco, and a foreword by Paul Gravett.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Published to accompany an exhibition opening on 29 May 2024 at the Pompidou Centre, Paris, this is a riveting and brilliantly illustrated celebration of the international comic book landscape over the past six decades.

The story begins in 1964, a key year in comics' shift from being driven by commercial potential into a means of self-expression respected not just as entertainment but also as art. The book is organized into fourteen thematic sections around subjects including the counterculture, science fiction, horror, architecture, comedy and more. It is illustrated by 300 works from the best-known artists and writers - from Robert Crumb, Hergé and Claire Bretécher to Akira Toriyama and Alan Moore - and features interviews with major artists including Joe Sacco.

A selection of renowned specialists contribute essays tracing comics' evolution up to the emergence of today's global, digital scene and the medium's likely future.
