Despite resounding evidence to the contrary presented by David Kunzle ( The Early Comic Strip, LJ 5/15/74, and The History of the Comic Strip: The Nineteenth Century, LJ 9/1/90), the idea that comic art is uniquely American prevails. O'Sullivan perpetuates the myth here. Her research, which covers all the major phases of American comic strip development--including adventure strips, social commentary, underground comix, and women, among others--is impressive, and the illustrations are, as one might expect, fantastic. Unfortunately, O'Sullivan's preferred writing style is Old High Cliche. Nonetheless, this is a valuable, if flawed, history. Recommended.
