Masterful Marks: Cartoonists Who Changed the World

In a first-of-its-kind collection, award-winning illustrators celebrate the lives of the visionary artists who created the world of comic art and altered pop culture forever.

Sixteen Graphic Novel Biographies of:

â€¢ Walt Disney â€¢ Dr. Seuss â€¢ Charles Schulz â€¢ The Creators of Superman â€¢ R. Crumb â€¢ Jack Kirby â€¢ Winsor McCay â€¢ HergÃ© â€¢ Osamu Tezuka â€¢ MAD creator, Harvey Kurtzman â€¢ Al Hirschfeld â€¢ Edward Gorey â€¢ Chas Addams â€¢ Rodolphe TÃ¶pffer â€¢ Lynd Ward â€¢ Hugh Hefner

The story of cartoonsâ€”the multibillion-dollar industry that has affected all corners of our culture, from high to lowâ€”is ultimately the story of the visionary icons who pioneered the form.

But no one has told the story of comic art in its own mediumâ€”until now.

In Masterful Marks, top illustratorsâ€”including Drew Friedman, Nora Krug, Denis Kitchen, and Peter Kuperâ€”reveal how sixteen visionary cartoonists overcame massive financial, political, and personal challenges to create a new form of art that now defines our world.
