{"product_id":"9780712357753","title":"Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt may come as a surprise that comics offer much more than meets the eye. Of course we all have happy memories of favorite childhood reading (\u003ci\u003eBeano\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDandy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEagle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eViz\u003c\/i\u003e—the list is endless). But how aware are we that there is something inherently anarchic about comics? A huge variety have been produced over the centuries by British creators. It is a strong tradition that continues today. Some of the biggest names in comics—Alan Moore (\u003ci\u003eWatchmen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eV for Vendetta\u003c\/i\u003e), Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Mark Millar (Kick-Ass), and Grant Morrison (\u003ci\u003eBatman: Arkham Asylum\u003c\/i\u003e)—are featured in this visually stimulating book. But there are many, many more. And it is the diversity of content and form, as well as comics’ ongoing relevance, which is a main focus. The seditious aspects of the comics tradition—adult, underground, and \"alternative\" material—is highlighted, alongside the superheroes who still dominate the scene. There is anarchy everywhere that you look!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Library, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052810191088,"sku":"9780712357753","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780712357753_p0.jpg?v=1763617235","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780712357753","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
