We all like comics, that is why we spent a lot of time surfing CBM, no matter if one is a fan boy, an enthusiast, a troll or whatever: "We All" loves comics, comics was my first contact with literature, I looked at the art even before to learn how to read or to wright, it was not a DC or Marvel tittle, it was Disney's. We like comic books and now we have the chance to get to know more about this art that fascinates us.

" 'Comic Books and Graphic Novels' has four goals. First, it presents a survey of the history of American comics and a review of major graphic novels circulating in the U.S. today. Second, it reasons that as comics develop in concert with and participate in humanist culture, they should be considered a serious art form that pulls together a number of fields—literature and history, art and design, film and radio, and social and cultural studies. Third, it argues that these fields come together materially in the concept of the book and intellectually in the importance of humanism, both of which allow the human mind to transcend the limitations of time. Finally, it concludes that because they remain on a transformative boundary line, comics should remind us that art is generative and that there is always hope." Professor Williams Kuskin.
