Publisher's Synopsis

The Blighted Eye features work by a pantheon of cartooning masters from the famous to the obscure including Dan Clowes, Robert Crumb, Matt Groening, Jaime Hernandez, Charles Schultz, and many, many others. Charting the increasing sophistication of comics over the last thirty years in the form of graphic novels, journalism, and memoirs, these reproductions of hand-crafted original art - brush strokes and pen lines inked on paper - offer unique insight into the form, a different way of perceiving the artists' work as objects of beauty in their own right.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
