In
The Expanding Art of Comics: Ten Modern Masterpieces, prominent scholar Thierry Groensteen offers a distinct perspective on important evolutions in comics since the 1960s through close readings of ten seminal works. He covers over half a century of comics production, sampling a single work from the sixties (
Ballad of the Salt Sea by Hugo Pratt), seventies (
The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius by Moebius), eighties (
Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons), and nineties (
Epileptic by David B.). Then this remarkable critic and scholar delves into recent masterpieces, such as
Building Stories by Chris Ware.
