Edward Gorey is an author and an illustrator who has carved a unique niche creating macabre graphic novels that are part satire and part social commentary--comics for adults. Though often relating lurid tales of Victorian crime, Gorey eschews blood and gore in favor of atmosphere and humor. Here the editors have collected a representative sample of his work. Ross, an artist, and Wilkin, an art critic, also provide a useful introductory essay on Gorey's work and an informative interview with him. The book includes a complete bibliography and photographs of Gorey's library and studio.
Habitual watchers of PBS TV's long-running Mystery! may constitute the largest number of Edward Gorey fans--provided, of course, that they all love the show's animated introduction, for it is Gorey's contribution. Long before the show, Gorey had attracted a staunch band of admirers with his gravely humorous rhymed stories set in an Edwardian never-never land and illustrated in children's picture-book fashion, one drawing per page or line of verse. If your child had a somewhat morbid sense of humor, they could be marvelous children's books, but they were basically for adults fascinated by Gorey's literary and artistic allusions and the droll dreariness of his densely crosshatched style (although he rarely uses color, his thicket of lines ineluctably conjures them in the mind's eye; of course, all are the hues of dusk). Besides a little gallery of his work, this sampler includes a literate admiration by Wilkin and a splendidly amusing tete-a-tete with the artist by Ross. Ray Olson

The Francophone Bande Dessinée (Faux Titre 265) Paperback – July 1, 2005
by Charles Forsdick (Editor), Laurence Grove (Editor), Libbie McQuillan (Editor)
Known as France’s Ninth Art, the bande dessinée has a status far surpassing that of the equivalent English-language comic strip. This publication, one of the first predominantly in English on the subject, provides a thorough introduction to questions of BD history, context and bibliography. Theoretical issues – including the reception of the early proto-BD prior to its modern definition, approaches to the construction of a BD (presented here in BD form by leading artist Tanitoc), semiology and the reading of the current form, or the specificity of the French/US (non)overlap – complement historical approaches, such as Bécassine read in the light of postcolonialism, Le Corbusier and BD techniques in architecture, post-war BD and nostalgia for the Resistance, or Pilote and the 1960s revolution. And whilst broaching issues such as feminism or masculinity, social class, AIDS, exoticism or futurism, the volume presents chapters on some of the cutting-edge artists in the field today: Baru, Moebius, Juillard, Binet, Bilal… This book supplies an introduction to the BD that will be of use to students and researchers at all levels. In addition, the format of the individual case studies provides in-depth analysis allowing the reader to grasp specific examples in terms both of their place vis-a-vis the evolution of the BD and, more generally, of the wider role they play within French and Francophone cultural studies.
This excellent volume presents the portfolios of ten major artists from around the world who have influenced the comic book from its inception until the late 1970s. Their talents are presented here in a wealth of striking colour and black & white plates displaying the depth and range of their vision. The book discusses their work in detail, highlights their contributions to this art form and compares their unique visions.
These ten artists have made a lasting impact in the field of comic book art. They are Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Frank Bellamy, Richard Corben, Barry Windsor-Smith, Jean Giraud, Philippe Druillet, Wallace Wood, Robert Crumb and Victor Moscoso. The author admits that the selection is incomplete but I agree with him that there is enough here to provide a broad history that reveals the rich talent and imagination hidden within this medium.
The author demonstrates how the comic book resembles the film media: both manufacture dreams and both came into their own in the 1930s and 1940s. There are a number of similar techniques in film and comics and the two media have influenced one another. A good comic book artist selects the most potent images for his story in the same way as a good film director.
The book also contains a biography of each of the artists and concludes with an extensive bibliography. Masters of Comic Book Art is an impressive display of many varied styles. Through its insightful text and brilliant illustrations it makes a valuable contribution to the discipline and history of comic book art.
