Description

Book Synopsis
A noted comics artist himself, Santiago García follows the history of the graphic novel from early nineteenth-century European sequential art, through the development of newspaper strips in the US, to the development of the twentieth-century comic book. He considers the aesthetic and entrepreneurial innovations that established the conditions for the rise of the graphic novel all over the world.

Trade Review
Santiago García opens an excellent and necessary dialogue with adulthood and the inspiring possibilities of the graphic novel. This book is a journey through the critical spaces of comics and the historical genealogies, bringing new and refreshing debates between the past and the present."" - Ana Merino, author of El Cómic Hispánico
