This is a paperback book entitled Adult Comics: An Introduction. By Roger Sabin. In excellent condition.
From Back Cover: Adult comics are part of the cultural landscape in a way that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. In this first survey of its kind, Roger Sabin traces the history of comics for older readers from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. He takes in the pioneering pre-First World War titles, the underground "comix" of the 1960s and 1970s, 'fandom' in the 1970s and 1980s, and the boom of the 1990s (including graphic novels and Viz). Covering comics from the United States, Europe, and Japan, Adult Comics addresses such issues as the graphic novel in context, cultural overspill, and the role of women."
