Synopsis

This book offers a series of short, provocative essays about value and reputation in the world of American comic books. Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's analyses of fields of cultural production, The Greatest Comic Book of All Time explores why works have the reputations that they do and what it might take to re-structure the comics world along different principles.
