ReplyDeleteHey Guys,
ReplyDeleteLet's keep all comments to the standard TEXTY format; comments should be about the reading only.
Thanks,

Hehe. Surprise!!! I was able to post.
ReplyDelete(T) Eric Shanower is basically summarizing ad describing the timeline and popularity of the graphic "novel"
(EX) The history of the cartooning seems a bit nebulously. Some comic art historians would include the paintings in ancient Egyptian tombs (paraphrasing next part) as hieroglyphs or the bayeux-tapestry which shows the Norman invasion in 1066.
(T) he forgot to mention don quijote. I wonder if he knows that
(Y) at my old school, we had anime or manga clubs out the wazoo. :)
(EX) ( shanower 3rd paragraph.) forgot that
ReplyDeleteT = The history of the graphic novel in about two pages.
ReplyDeleteEX = "The term graphic novel isn't much better or more accurate a description than the term comic book" (Shanower 1)
T = How did you find this article?
