The comics

This trailblazing survey of an art form preferred by the  masses was the pioneer study of the subject. It shows the evolution and  subgenres of the comics from The Yellow Kid in 1895 through the  first decade of the modern comic book in the 1940s. First published in 1947 and long out of print, this is considered by  diehard aficionados of the comics as the best book ever written on the  subject, and not just because it was the first. In this far-reaching study  Coulton Waugh set down information that is now common lore, that the comics  are revealing reflectors of society. For general readers and scholars  alike, this new edition has a comprehensive index and an introduction by M.  Thomas Inge, the notable scholar of popular culture and author of Comics  as Culture.
