About the series
A single, landmark issue from 1967, The Penguin Book of Comics is a comprehensive, illustrated history of the medium from its origins through the 1960s, published by Penguin. Written and designed by a team of experts and most vividly realized through the distinctive, psychedelic cover art and design by Alan Aldridge, it stands as an early, serious critical survey of comics. Its importance lies in being one of the first mass-market books to treat comic strips and comic books as an art form worthy of study and celebration.
