One Page
Graphic Novels
Art Speigelman, as part of an August 22, 2016 New Yorker article,
selected the following comics as "characteriz[ing] 'an ambitious comic
book,' whether the narrative is drawn on one page or three
hundred. [He adds that] 'Since comics is the art of compression, I
started looking back on the one-pagers which either in terms of their
subject matter or in terms of their resonance had stayed in my brain.'"
His selections are great place to test this theory of compressing the
resonance and impact of a novel onto a page of images and words. And a
great start at developing your history of comics by getting a glimpse
of its canonical authors.
