Filmish: A Graphic Journey Through Film

Filmish: A Graphic Journey Through Film

2017 ALA/YALSA Great Graphic Novel for Teens Award Winner

Cartoonist Edward Ross uses comics to illuminate the ideas behind our favorite movies. In Filmish, Rossâ€™s cartoon alter ego guides readers through the annals of cinematic history, introducing some of the strange and fascinating concepts at work in the movies. Each chapter focuses on a particular themeâ€”the body, architecture, languageâ€”and explores an eclectic mix of cinematic triumphs, from A Tripto the Moon to Top Gun. Like other bestselling nonfiction graphic novels such as Scott McCloudâ€™s Understanding Comics, Filmish tackles serious issuesâ€”sexuality, race, censorship, propagandaâ€”with authority and wit, throwing new light on some of the greatest films ever made.
