Jerry Robinson Ambassador Of Comics HC
Description
Written by
At a Poconos summer camp in 1939, a skinny teenager sporting a cartoon-covered jacket caught the eye of a comics professional who offered him a job on the spot.
Jerry Robinson was the kid, Batman's co-creator was the pro…and history was in their handshake,
Robinson is one of those living legends of American Comics. As a member of the original Batman team, he created the first and most iconic of all supervillians, the Joker and co-created Robin, the archetypal sidekick. During the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, Robinson worked on every comic book genre there was and brought to life his own super heroes, such as London, Jet Scott and Atoman. His artistry also extended beyond comic books into editorial cartooning and popular syndicated strips such as Still life and Flubs & Fluffs, as well as magazine and book illustration, fine arts, academia and humanitarian Affairs. Robinson has been influential teacher, an international lecturer, an important curator of cartooning art exhibits and a tireless champion of artists' rights.
Jerry Robinson Ambassador Of Comics is a rich, fully illustrated collection of work from Robinson's lengthy career. The seminal book was written in collaboration with the artist himself and includes original sketches, ink drawing and photographs, many of them shown here for the first time.
