The earliest example of a repeating comic character dates back to the late 1700s. By following the growth of print technology in Europe and Asia, it is possible to understand how and why artists across cultures developed different strategies for telling stories with pictures. This book is much more than a history of graphic narrative across the globe. It examines broader conceptual developments that preceded the origins of comics and graphic novels; how those ideas have evolved over the last century and a half; how literacy, print technology, and developments in narrative art are interrelated; and the way graphic narratives communicate culturally significant stories. The work of artists such as William Hogarth, J. J. Grandville, Willhem Busch, Frans Masereel, Max Ernst, Saul Steinberg, Henry Darger, and Larry Gonick are discussed or depicted.

This book has an awkward scope, which is too expansive to achieve sufficient depth but too niche to engage a casual reader. It would probably have functioned better as two volumes, focusing on proto-comic art and modern comics' interplay with culture. Oh, and the chapter on digital media and distribution is terrible. The author is clearly out of his depth in it. This book has an awkward scope, which is too expansive to achieve sufficient depth but too niche to engage a casual reader.

The author must have been very poorly prepared for writing that book. When it comes to the japanese part of the history of comics there can be observed a striking lack of knowledge of not only the proper japanese words (writing katagana instead of katakana - page 128), but also the history itself. The book is very inconsistent and written in very facile manner.
