By Northpapers, The United States

"An informative, artfully assembled walk through the history of American comics. I was unaware of how rich the early history of newspaper funnies was, and when and why they evolved into what they are today. Writers like Jonathan Safran Foer and David Eggers compose lively reviews of the importance and impact of the comic artists they love."
