Faster Than a Speeding Bullet: The Rise of the Graphic Novel by Stephen Weiner, Chris Couch, Will Eisner

2.0

A quick over-view of the history of the main stream graphic novel. Emphases on quick and main stream. Weiner seems to suggest that the graphic novel is comics "all grown up" - which I believe HINDERS, not helps the argument that comics (i.e. graphic novels ARE comics) are a legitmate form of literature. Also, he mentions only two female artists in this entire book. I know the field is male- dominated, but damnnn - at least Alison Bechtal or Marjane Satrapi please!
