Faster Than a Speeding Bullet: The Rise of the Graphic Novel

Graphic novels have exploded off bookstore shelves into movies, college courses, and the New York Times book review, and comics historian and childrenâ€™s literature specialist Stephen Weiner explains the phenomenon in this groundbreaking bookâ€”the first history of graphic novels. From the agonizing Holocaust vision of Art Spiegelmanâ€™s Maus to the teenage angst of Dan Clowesâ€™s Ghost World, this study enters the heart of the graphic novel revolution. The complete history of this popular format is explained, from the first modern, urban autobiographical graphic novel, Will Eisnerâ€™s A Contract with God, to the dark mysteries of Neil Gaimanâ€™s Sandman, the postmodern superheroics of Frank Millerâ€™s Batman: The Dark Knight, and breakout books such as Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and R. Crumb's The Book of Genesis. Itâ€™s all here in this newly updated edition, which contains the must-reads, the milestones, the most recent developments, and what to look for in the future of this exciting medium.
