Product Information
Filled with beautiful full-color art, dynamic storytelling, and insightful analysis, Hillary Chute's Why Comics reveals what makes one of the most critically acclaimed and popular art forms unique and so appealing, and how it got that way. Over the past century, fans have elevated comics from the back pages of newspapers into one of our most celebrated forms of culture, from Fun Home, the Tony Award-winning musical based on Alison Bechdel's groundbreaking graphic memoir, to the dozens of superhero films that are annual blockbusters worldwide. What is the essence of comics' appeal What does this art form do that others can't Whether you've read every comic you can get your hands on or you're just starting your journey, Why Comics has something for you. Author Hillary Chute chronicles comics culture, explaining underground comics (also known as "comix") and graphic novels, analyzing their evolution, and offering fascinating portraits of the creative men and women behind them. Chute reveals why these works-a blend of concise words and striking visuals-are an extraordinarily powerful form of expression that stimulates us intellectually and emotionally. Focusing on ten major themes-disaster, superheroes, sex, the suburbs, cities, punk, illness and disability, girls, war, and queerness-Chute explains how comics gets its messages across more effectively than any other form. "Why Disaster" explores how comics are uniquely suited to convey the scale and disorientation of calamity, from Art Spiegelman's representation of the Holocaust and 9/11 to Keiji Nakazawa's focus on Hiroshima. "Why the Suburbs" examines how the work of Chris Ware and Charles Burns illustrates the quiet joys and struggles of suburban existence; and "Why Punk" delves into how comics inspire and reflect the punk movement's DIY aesthetics-giving birth to a democratic medium increasingly embraced by some of today's most significant artists. Featuring full-color reproductions of more than one hundred essential pages and panels, including some famous but never-before-reprinted images from comics legends, Why Comics is an indispensable guide that offers a deep understanding of this influential art form and its masters.

Reviews
Hillary Chute, who may be to comics studies what Art Spiegelman is to comics, brings her academic rigor to an examination of this oft-underappreciated art form. Her supple, nuanced understanding of how to read comics--not only why--begins with an emphasis on the difference between simply reading comics and knowing how to read comics, and continues with a deep dive into genres and themes., Why Comics? is a riveting compendium of history, humor, politics, punk, sex, violence, and the occasional superhero. Hillary Chute has given us the stories behind some of the most subversive literature of our time. You want to read this book., Now that Art Spiegelman's Maus and Alison Bechdel's Fun Home have found both commercial and critical success, at last there is a brilliant investigation into the unique powers of the medium., Chute clearly has a deep understanding of, experience with, and affinity for comics culture. Best of all, though she analyzes with an academic's rigor and supports her themes with extensive research, she doesn't write like a professor... For anyone who wants a crash course in contemporary comics, or wants to teach one, this is your book., Hillary Chute is the scholar comics has been waiting for--passionate, eloquent, encyclopedically knowledgeable, and profoundly in sync with the medium., Why Comics? is as entertaining as it is revelatory, and Hillary Chute is one of the most engaging thinkers afoot in criticism today. Ideas tumble from these pages.

Over the past century, fans have elevated comics from the back pages of newspapers into one of our most celebrated forms of culture, from Fun Home, the Tony Award-winning musical based on Alison Bechdel's groundbreaking graphic memoir, to the dozens of superhero films that are annual blockbusters worldwide. What is the essence of comics' appeal What does this art form do that others can't Whether you've read every comic you can get your hands on or you're just starting your journey, Why Comics has something for you. Author Hillary Chute chronicles comics culture, explaining underground comics (also known as "comix") and graphic novels, analyzing their evolution, and offering fascinating portraits of the creative men and women behind them. Chute reveals why these works-a blend of concise words and striking visuals-are an extraordinarily powerful form of expression that stimulates us intellectually and emotionally. Focusing on ten major themes-disaster, superheroes, sex, the suburbs, cities, punk, illness and disability, girls, war, and queerness-Chute explains how comics gets its messages across more effectively than any other form.

New York Times 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? In Why Comics? , 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. As Scott McCloud revealed the methods behind comics and the way they worked in his classic Understanding Comics , Chute will reveal the themes that Comics handle best, and how the form is uniquely equipped to explore them. The topics Why Comics? include: - Why Disaster: with such major works focusing on disasters, from Art Spiegelman's work, which covers the Holocaust and 9/11 to Keiji Nakazawa's work covering Heroshima, comics find themselves uniquely suited to convey the scale and disorientation of disaster. - Why Suburbs: through the work of Chris Ware and Charles Burns, Chute reveals the fascinating ways that Comics illustrate the quiet joys and struggles of suburban existence. - Why Punk: With an emphasis on DIY aesthetics and rebelling against what came before, the Punk movement would prove to be a fertile ground for some of the most significant modern cartoonists, creating a truly democratic art form. Chute has created an indispensable guide to comics for those new to the genre, or those who want to understand more about what lies behind their favorite works., A New York Times Notable Book of 2018 "...a tour de force of the world of comics, from high-minded graphic novels to Superman..."
