In Reading Comics, critic Douglas Wolk shows us why and how. Wolk illuminates the most dazzling creators of modern comics-from Alan Moore to Alison Bechdel to Chris Ware-and explains their roots, influences, and where they fit into the pantheon of art. As accessible to the hardcore fan as to the curious newcomer, Reading Comics is the first book for people who want to know not just which comics are worth reading, but ways to think and talk and argue about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Wolk\u003c\/b\u003e writes about comics and music for publications including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post, Salon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Believer\u003c\/i\u003e.
