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.
