It also includes stories -- some reprinted for the first time -- about boys coming of age, troubled superheroes, and the place of artists and critics in popular culture. The volume's dozen critical essays illuminate Clowes's comics by locating them within biographical, artistic, and socio-historical contexts, including the Indie and DIY movements, Generation X philosophy, and the history of American cartooning. Selections by artists who influenced Clowes and a detailed chronology of his work round out the collection, and extensive annotations shed light on the cartoonist's sources and cultural references. Perfect for the college literature\/graphic narrative classroom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Parille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606995898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606995891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Ken Parille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938703933695,"sku":"9781606995891","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_67047a9a-af09-4fbb-bc21-10274452afd9.jpg?v=1681437248","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-daniel-clowes-reader-ken-parille-9781606995891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
