Since the first Superman film came to the screen in 1978, films adapted from comics have become increasingly important as a film form. Since that time, advances in computer-generated special effects have significantly improved the ability of film to capture the style and action of comics, producing film such as X-men and Spider-man.

The comic book universe is adventurous, mystifying, and filled with heroes, villains, and cosplaying Comic-Con attendees. This book by one of Wired magazine's art directors traverses the graphic world through a collection of pie charts, bar graphs, timelines, scatter plots, and more. Super Graphic offers readers a unique look at the intricate and sometimes contradictory storylines that weave their way through comic books, and shares advice for navigating the pages of some of the most popular, longest-running, and best-loved comics and graphic novels out there. From a colorful breakdown of the DC Comics reader demographic to a witty Venn diagram of superhero comic tropes and a Chris Ware sadness scale, this book charts the most arbitrary and monumental characters, moments, and equipment of the wide world of comics. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which includes high-resolution images.

Graphic novels, long stories told in comics format, have enjoyed the fastest-growing sales of any category of book in the U.S. over the last four years. This modern renaissance of comics has produced a library of substantial works, whose subjects are not confined to superheroes or fantasy but are as varied and sophisticated as the best films and literature. Graphic Novels presents an accessible, entertaining, and highly illustrated guide to the diversity of contemporary comics in book form. Featuring striking graphics and explanatory extracts from a wide range of graphic novels, the book examines the specific language of the comics medium; the history and pioneers of the form; recent masterpieces from Art Spiegelman's Maus to Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan; the impact of Japanese manga and European albums translated into English; how artists have overcome prejudices towards the genre; and the ambitious range of themes and issues artists are addressing, including childhood, war and survival, politics, the future, sexuality, and the supernatural.

A follow-up to two highly successful monographs on the work of one of the most important designers of his generation, showcasing projects completed since the mid-1990s. Neville Brody defined the look of the 1980s music scene as art director of The Face. Since then, Brody consistently proved that he is one of most innovative and shape-shifting graphic designers of the era. While his second monograph was published in 1994, over the last almost three decades Brody has produced a new body of editorial, typographic, information, and interface design of unparalleled boldness and sophistication for global clients that include Samsung, Shiseido, Coca-Cola, the UK’s Channel 4, and Dom Perignon. The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3 brings this work together in thematic sections that address the key fields of his vibrant design projects, including typographic experimentation, information graphics, cultural subversion, and design systems. Richly illustrated, each project is explored in detail, revealing the work that defined Brody’s recent career across six chapters, from major brands to magazine editorials and features, showing how his design language has evolved since the 1990s. Creating a new generation of fans, this volume shares Brody’s design genius at a time when the originality of work from the 1980s and 1990s across many creative disciplines is finding a new audience. This inspirational volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of graphic design over the past three decades.
