Edited by Kim A. Munson. Cover by Will Eisner.
A comprehensive history of how comics and comic art gained recognition as art. Through essays and interviews, Kim A. Munson's anthology tells the story of the over-thirty-year history of the artists, art critics, collectors, curators, journalists, and academics who championed the serious study of comics, the trends and controversies that produced institutional interest in comics, and the wax and wane and then return of comic art in museums. With over eighty images and thoughtful essays, this anthology shows how exhibitions expanded the public dialogue about comic art and our expectation of "good art."
