1001 COMICS MINI-SITE

Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

Yuichi Yokoyama

Recommendations:

Yokoyama may not have studied [Bernard] Krigstein, but he’s got a soul brother there. They both share a deep interest in the mechanics of comics, and specifically the ways in which comics manhandle time. Krigstein found that by dividing an action into seperate slender panels and isolating each nanosecond, time could be simultaneously expanded and contracted. By wielding his pen like a knife, Yokoyama skewers and fillets time. - Paul Karasik (from the introduction)
