In a first-of-its-kind collection, award-winning illustrators celebrate the lives of the visionary artists who created the world of comic art and altered pop culture forever.
Sixteen Graphic Novel Biographies of:
* Walt Disney * Dr. Seuss * Charles Schulz * The Creators of Superman * R. Crumb * Jack Kirby * Winsor McCay * Herge * Osamu Tezuka * MAD creator, Harvey Kurtzman * Al Hirschfeld * Edward Gorey * Chas Addams * Rodolphe Toepffer * Lynd Ward * Hugh Hefner
The story of cartoons-the multibillion-dollar industry that has affected all corners of our culture, from high to low-is ultimately the story of the visionary icons who pioneered the form.
But no one has told the story of comic art in its own medium-until now.
In Masterful Marks, top illustrators-including Drew Friedman, Nora Krug, Denis Kitchen, and Peter Kuper-reveal how sixteen visionary cartoonists overcame massive financial, political, and personal challenges to create a new form of art that now defines our world.
