Salem Press - Welcome

The second in Salem's Critical Survey of Graphic Novels series is Independents & Underground Classics. It provides in-depth insight into over 215 of the most popular and studied graphic novels. Including award winners of all kinds: from "Promising Newcomer" to Maus' ground-breaking Pulitzer Prize. Great fun. Great literature.

And, if you haven't already, be sure to consider the first, two-volume set in this series: Heroes & Superheroes.

Flappers, prohibition, jazz, and the Lost Generation... Salem's The Twenties in America examines the iconic personalities and culture-shifting events of this uproarious decade.
