{"product_id":"sparring-with-gil-kane-gary-groth-9781683960713","title":"Sparring with Gil Kane: Debating the History and Aesthetics of Comics","description":"Gil Kane drew every major comic book character in his 50-year career -- from Spider-Man and the Hulk to Superman and Batman -- and conceived and drew independent \"graphic novels\" long before the term had any meaning to the larger public. He was also a fascinating raconteur and a formidable analyst, critic, and theorist of comics, a medium he loved. Included in this collection are interviews Kane conducted with a wide array of cartoonists: newspaper strip artists such as Hal Foster (\u003cem\u003ePrince Valiant\u003c\/em\u003e) and Walt Kelly (\u003cem\u003ePogo\u003c\/em\u003e); fellow comic book creators such as Harvey Kurtzman; underground cartoonists Robert Crumb and Jack Jackson; and the literary critic Donald Phelps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Groth, Gil Kane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683960718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683960713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Gary Groth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078600552703,"sku":"9781683960713","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c47dab23-8084-40ad-83dc-6e982eb572ef.jpg?v=1685476428","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sparring-with-gil-kane-gary-groth-9781683960713","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
