The massive impact that comics have had on our culture becomes more and more clear every day, from the critically acclaimed musical 'Fun Home', based on Alison Bechdel's groundbreaking comic, to the dozens of superhero films hitting cinemas every year. What is it that makes comics so special? What can this unique art form do that others can't? Here, comics scholar Hillary Chute reveals the history of comics, underground comics (or comix) and graphic novels through deep thematic analysis and fascinating portraits of the fearless men and women behind them.
