520 |a When it was published in 1976, The World Encyclopedia of Comics was the first comprehensive reference book about comic art. The work featured biographical entries on the most important authors and artists - detailing their lives and careers as well as their styles and contributions to the genre - plus entries on the landmark strips and characters of the form. The Encyclopedia quickly became recognized as the authoritative work on comic art. The new, updated edition of The World Encyclopedia of Comics features new information on the most important cartoonists from all over the world, such as Art Spiegelman, Gary Larson, Lynn Johnston, and Frank Miller, as well as entries on important new strips or comic books like Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Spawn, and Mutts. In addition, information has been added to many of the original Encyclopedia entries. Eighty pages of color comic art chart the development of the medium, from the Katzenjammer Kids of 100 years ago to the stylistic strips of today. As with the original volume, this edition of The World Encyclopedia of Comics includes an extensive glossary; a bibliography; essays on the history of the medium; listings of comic book publishers and comic strip syndicates; and indexes. With over 1,400 entries and 1,000 illustrations, the new edition of The World Encyclopedia of Comics is not only comprehensive, it is definitive.
