Father of the Comic Strip - David Kunzle - Bog

Sixty years before the comics entered the American newspaper press, Rodolphe Toepffer of Geneva invented a new art form: the comic strip, or "picture story", that is now the graphic novel. In a biographical framework, Kunzle situates the comic strips in the Genevan and European culture of the time as well as in relation to Toepffer's other work.
