In the mid-1960s, comics transformed into a highly creative art form for discerning audiences. In France, Hara-Kiri magazine pioneered graphical humor, while Jean-Claude Forest's Barbarella adventures were published by ric Losfeld. Japan's Garo, launched in 1964, introduced the concept of auteur comics. Robert Crumb's Zap Comix, released in 1968, solidified his status as the leader of the American underground comics movement. This comprehensive historical survey, 'Comics: 19642024', explores the evolution of comics over six decades, from the twentieth-century counterculture explosion to contemporary abstract styles. It features artists like Andre Franquin, Gotlib, and Osamu Tezuka, with introductions by experts, a new interview with Joe Sacco, and a foreword by Paul Gravett.
