Promotional Information

'Comics Versus Art is an absolutely terrific, very impressive book. Bart Beaty has produced a striking institutional history of comics, focusing on their movement from a position of low culture and marginality to their new place of prominence. It's a work of great sophistication, providing a broader, more nuanced sense of comics as a cultural form than we have previously understood. At the same time, Beaty explores these ideas with great clarity and focus in straightforward language.' -- Scott Bukatman, Department of Art and Art History, Stanford University

About the Author

Bart Beaty is a professor in the Department of English at the University of Calgary.
