{"product_id":"on-the-graphic-novel-santiago-garcia-9781496813183","title":"On the Graphic Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA noted comics artist himself, Santiago Garcia follows the history of the graphic novel from early nineteenth-century European sequential art, through the development of newspaper strips in the United States, to the development of the twentieth-century comic book and its subsequent crisis. He considers the aesthetic and entrepreneurial innovations that established the conditions for the rise of the graphic novel all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGarcia not only treats the formal components of the art, but also examines the cultural position of comics in various formats as a popular medium. Typically associated with children, often viewed as unedifying and even at times as a threat to moral character, comics art has come a long way. With such examples from around the world as Spain, France, Germany, and Japan, Garcia illustrates how the graphic novel, with its increasingly global and aesthetically sophisticated profile, represents a new model for graphic narrative production that empowers authors and challenges longstanding social prejudices against comics and what they can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Santiago Garc?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496813189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496813183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d","brand":"Santiago Garc?","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936381960447,"sku":"9781496813183","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_840939f7-d706-4f66-9490-95b309f15974.jpg?v=1681425227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-graphic-novel-santiago-garcia-9781496813183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
