(W) Emmanuele Payen, Paul Gravett (A) Various

Starting in the mid-1960s, comics rapidly evolved into a highly creative art form for a sophisticated readership: in France, the magazineHara-Kiriprovided new terrains for graphical humor, while the adventures of Jean-Claude Forest'sBarbarellawere published in albums by Éric Losfeld; the launch in Japan ofGaroin 1964, an avant-garde monthly, introduced the concept of auteur comics; and the release of Robert Crumb'sZap Comixin 1968 established his reputation as the leader of the underground comics movement in the United States. This major historical survey of the so-called "ninth art" establishes a dialogue between the three leading regions of comic book culture-Europe, Asia, and America-and offers an immersive odyssey through the medium's development over six decades.
