The Comics — Brian Walker

"The most comprehensive survey of postwar comics, covering the period when some of our best-known cartoonists were at their creative peaks, ""The Comics Since 1945"" is now available in a revised and updated paperback edition. Organized by decade, illustrated with exemplary selections of historic comic strips, and supplemented by biographical profiles of the artists, it is both comprehensive and graphically stunning, ideal for both devoted comics fans and serious students of popular culture."
