Description: How the classic aesthetic of 1960s pulp comics influenced art, culture, and politics.
Review Quotes: This is an excellent and above all thought-provoking book. The wealth of material in The Look of the 1960s remains eminently readable because the authors never lose sight of concrete cultural objects, which they contextualize, summarize, and analyze. I plan to use this book in my own research, and I will recommend it to readers with even a passing interest in French comics culture, the origins of the graphic novel, transnational circulations, and the role of comics in a broader media ecology.--Nicolas Labarre, author of Understanding Genres in Comics
