Description
Explore the evolution of sequential art with Dreaming the Graphic Novel: The Novelization of Comics. Published by Rutgers University Press, this award-winning work investigates the history of the medium during a period of significant transformation. While the term graphic novel was first used in 1964, it did not reach mass popularity until the success of works like Maus and Watchmen in the 1980s. This book focuses on the missing link: the 1970s. Readers will learn how ideas surrounding the graphic novel began to form during this era of change. By examining the years between the initial concept and wide recognition, this text provides a deep look into how the medium transitioned toward the commercial and critical success seen in later decades. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of comics and the development of modern storytelling formats.
