Comic Book Research : 2016

From: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/freeEbook.html

We live in the golden age of an art form: cartoon art. Our free e-book for December, Outside the Box: Interviews with Contemporary Cartoonists showcases Hillary L. Chute’s extensive discussions with leading figures of the form. Chute’s twelve artists run the gamut of contemporary comics practice, from underground pioneers like Art Spiegelman and Lynda Barry, to the analytic work of Scott McCloud, the journalism of Joe Sacco, and the extended narratives of Alison Bechdel, Charles Burns, and more.
With dozens of full-color illustrations, and including the first published conversation between Art Spiegelman and Chris Ware, this month’s free e-book is “full of fascinating, weighty insights into the artistic and working concerns of some excellent cartoonists.” (TLS)
