    Book SynopsisFocusing especially on American comic books and graphic novels from the 1930s to the present, this massive four-volume work provides a colorful yet authoritative source on the entire history of the comics medium.Comics and graphic novels have recently become big business, serving as the inspiration for blockbuster Hollywood movies such as the Iron Man series of films and the hit television drama The Walking Dead. But comics have been popular throughout the 20th century despite the significant effects of the restrictions of the Comics Code in place from the 1950s through 1970s, which prohibited the depiction of zombies and use of the word horror, among many other rules. Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas provides students and general readers a one-stop resource for researching topics, genres, works, and artists of comic books, comic strips, and graphic novels.

They make quite a resume. The DC Book of Lists also has a chronological list of artificial intelligence, from the 2nd century to the 823rd—with Metal Men, Brother Eye, and Computo along the way—and a Mount Olympus family tree presents Wonder Woman’s expansive list of relatives. Legacy characters like the Flash and Green Lantern are highlighted, profiling each character to don the mantle, and Suicide Squad members are memorialized in a breakdown of who was killed on each mission. From superheroes and villains with tattoos to the many cats prowling around the DC multiverse, you’ll find a surprise or two on every page. Illustrated with full-color comic book art throughout, each page of The DC Book of Lists presents a new discovery or way of looking at cherished characters.

    Book SynopsisBefore becoming one of the all-time greats of the comicbook world, artist Nick Cardy fought in World War II - and he took his sketchbook with him. From basic training in the US, through Europe to VE Day in Paris, Cardy documented everything, in vivid sketches and watercolors that show both the humor and horror of war: a chronicle of one man's journey, that speaks for millions.Trade Review“This art would be beautiful even if it weren’t created under such difficult circumstances; and as assembled, it does tell a story.” – AV Club “An amazing hardcover that faithfully reproduces all the sketches that Cardy did throughout his time in World War II.” “A lavishly-produced art book.” “I love that someone took the time to do a book like this in the first place. It’d be a great read even if you weren’t a fan of Nick Cardy’s work at all, but if you are, then this will immediately become one of your favorite Cardy books of all time. Seriously. I can’t recommend it enough.” “I hope it sells through the roof and starts a trend. I’d love it if this was the first of many volumes about the greats of comics and what their actual lives were about. These guys have great stories to tell, and we should get them told.” – Comic Book Resources “a moving collection of sketches, watercolors, photos and the voice of a powerful artist. From intimate portraits to brutal landscapes, this Silver Age comic book legend takes you on a moving journey through his time during the war. I recommend Nick Cardy’s collection for lovers of history and to see a different side of this great artist who made pop culture history.” – Comics Blend “History buffs and comic book fans alike will thoroughly enjoy this private look into the life of Nick Cardy.” – Fanboy Comics “This is a fantastic book that has been lovingly put together and should find a happy place on any artist or history buffs bookshelf.” – First Comic News “The presentation is spectacular, from the layout to the binding. This book is genuinely one of the best things we’ve ever reviewed on the site and would make a great gift for anyone interested in World War II.” – Military.com “These amazing drawings illustrate and document a very poignant time in human history.” – Retrenders “The Artist at War is a special book. It is a chance to be transported across time and space. It is an opportunity to read the stories, see the pictures, and relive a moment in history which defined a generation. When that opportunity comes knocking you really must take it.” “Whether you are a fan of Cardy’s comic book work, a history buff, or someone who wishes they had a chance to see a memory through someone else’s eyes, Nick Cardy: The Artist at War is a must-read book.” – Stumptown “Rarely do we see this side of our comic book creators, and it shines a light on what I am sure played a huge influence on the artists and writers from golden age of comics.” – The Blot Says “Fascinating...a side of Cardy that fans of the Silver Age never got to see.” – Uproxx “Nick Cardy: The Artist at War is a pleasure to hold and look at. These collections from Titan Books are VERY well packaged, and as far as coffee table or guest reading materials are concerned, it’s hard to do much better with a focus on comics.” – Comic Book Herald “This book is absolutely perfect for history buffs. It is also absolutely perfect for folks interested in the human condition. And, war is all about the human condition, a condition that Nick Cardy captured just about every angle of with his pen and sketchbook.” – Unleash the Fanboy “Reaches the importance that only few “artbooks” are able to archive.” – Part Time Fanboy

  • Marvel's Mutants: The X-Men Comics of Chris

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Marvel's Mutants: The X-Men Comics of Chris

    4 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn 1975, Marvel Comics revived the X-Men, a failed title which hadn't used new material for half a decade. It was a marginal project in an industry then in crisis. Five years later, it was the bestseller in a revived comics market. Unusually in the comics world, one man, Chris Claremont wrote the comic over seventeen years, from 1975 to 1991, developing new characters such as Wolverine and Storm, and taking themes from Freudian psychology, Christian temptation narratives, Existentialist philosophy and the language of sub-cultural identity. Marvel's Mutants is the first book to be devoted to the aesthetics of these comics that laid the foundation for the worldwide X-Men franchise we know today. Miles Booy explores Claremont's recurrent themes, the evolution of his reputation as an auteur within a collaborative medium, the superhero genre and the input of the artists with whom Claremont worked. Also covered are the successful spin-off projects, which Claremont wrote: solo Wolverine mini-series and whole new teams of mutant superheroes.Trade Review`Miles Booy is an expert critic and his much-welcomed account of Chris Claremont's tenure on Marvel's X-Men will be essential reading for comic fans and historians alike. Booy succeeds in analysing the narratives and politics of comics with admirable scholarly detachment while never losing sight of the fun nature of his subject. This book is likely to be the definitive survey of Claremont's contribution to the Marvel universe.' - James Chapman, author British Comics: A Cultural History, 'An excellent and timely book about the unsung genius of Chris Claremont, the most under-appreciated comics writer, who nevertheless made a vast contribution to the super hero genre. Booy gets deep into the work, and why Claremont is so influential.' - Paul Cornell, award-winning comics writer of Wolverine, X-Men & more, 'Marvel's Mutants provides the sort of literary analysis of the X-Men that we’ve been waiting for. This is not more of the same, endless discussions of the X-Men's politics. Rather, Miles Booy excavates and illuminates the subtle but often forgotten themes and tropes - joy and hunger, civilization and savagery, humanity and machinery - that truly gripped the attention of long-time writer Chris Claremont. This is a compelling, novel, and necessary reconsideration of the foundational period of the X-Men.’ - Neil Shyminsky,Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Chapter One: Claremont's Characters Chapter Two: History and Futures Past Chapter Three: Bringing It All Back Home Chapter Four: Existential X-Men: The New Mutants Chapter Five: Harder They Come...
