Give Our Regards To The Atomsmashers HC

Description

In GIVE OUR REGARDS TO THE ATOMSMASHERS, some of our most intriguing and creative contemporary writers weigh in on the world of comics: the ones they love versus the ones they hate, the comics they devoured as kids and still can't live without, and the comics that have influenced them in their work and their lives. Here is Jonathan Lethem on childhood friendships, comics books, and the genius of artist Jack Kirby...Glenn David Gold on the obsessive nature of collecting...Myla Goldberg writing about the disturbed visions of Chris Ware and Renee French...Steve Erickson riffing on the perverse patriotism of AMERICAN FLAGG. Here, too, are Luc Sante on TINTIN, Aimee Bender on YUMMY FUR, Greil Marcus on UNCLE SAM, Lydia Millet on LITTLE NEMO IN SLUMBERLAND, and many others. GIVE OUR REGARDS TO THE ATOMSMASHERS is a quirky, thrilling, and compulsively readable celebration of the unique alchemy of words and drawings that forms the language of comic books. It is a book that will delight the seasoned comics reader and invite everyone else into a whole new world.
