| Summary |
From Little Nemo and Superman and Maus and the graphic novel as high art, the comics form has evolved at a furious pace. Here, thirteen artists and writers, almost all lifelong comics fans themselves, offer moving, funny, and inspirational true tales from the labyrinth of childhood, family, friendship, and school, and of the creative struggles that led each to become a master of one of today's most vibrant art forms. |
