Comics! Cartoons! Anime! Manga! Graphic novels! Video games! This
vibrant and engaging book, catalog to a landmark exhibition,
celebrates the variety and growing significance of visual pop
culture. Stunningly illustrated with eye-popping art, KRAZY!
investigates the uniqueness of these forms while considering the ways
they interconnect. Curated by many of the artists who first brought
these forms to the public's attention, this volume features
commentary and interviews with Maus author Art Spiegelman, SimCity
creator Will Wright, and Canadian comic book author and illustrator
Seth, along with Tim Johnson (codirector of Antz and Over the Hedge),
Kiyoshi Kusumi (a global authority on manga), and media theory critic
Toshiya Ueno. This pathbreaking volume crosses boundaries between the
printed arts, films, and video games and analyzes the reciprocal
influences between fields, highlighting the best of each. The energy
and intensity of the images leap off every page, and the full
experience of the exhibit itself comes alive in behind-the-scenes
commentary by the contributors. _KRAZY! _is a dizzying introduction
to the art forms that will dominate the new century.
