1st printing. Edited by Aaron Meskin and Roy T. Cook. The Art of Comics: A Philosophical Approach is the first ever anthology on the aesthetics of comics in the analytic tradition. As such, it is predictably rigorous, but, perhaps more surprisingly, it exhibits a very deep love of comics as well as an intimate and close knowledge of the art form in all its diversity and detail. The book is a splendid addition to the growing body of work on the philosophies of the arts. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 320 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations).
