comics books are certainly literature...
but then a lot of mindless pap gets published as a book also... It depends, art is art...art is an expression of consciouness... Comic books then can be trashy or sublime... just like books, music or sword swallowing.... AS mentioned right on page one, Maus could be considred one of the few truly sublime comic books. Comic boosk in general are just largely mass produced pap..... It is like comparing attack of the killer tomatoes with gone with the wind. They are both films..... but somehow..there is a huge difference. Just as there is with a Spiderman comic and Maus... The comic Nanda is pluggin reminds me terribly of Russel diary of a peaceful man, in style ![]() ![]() ![]()

Is that the actual title? I can't find it anywhere online. It looks a bit like Robert Crumb, though, and Paper gets compared to Crumb quite a lot. |

he's a brit.... it has adult themes so not really somethign for here... pete loveday - Google Search Pete Loveday is a British underground cartoonist. He drew many comics charting the adventures of hippie character Russell including Big Bang Comics, Big Trip Travel Agency, Plain Rapper Comix printed by AK Press.[1] He draws like Robert Crumb or Gilbert Shelton with lots of cross-hatching. Big Bang Comics is Britain's most successful underground comics.[2] Recurring themes in the comics are drugs, Rock festivals, environmentalism etc. Plain Rapper Comix #2 is Loveday's pamphlet in comic book form on a history of hemp and why it would be beneficial for the environment to replace tree paper with hemp paper and he practices what he preaches by being the first publication in modern times to be printed on such paper. The Russell comics were reprinted in book form Russell, The Saga of a peaceful man[3] published by John Brown Publishing. As a champion of British small press comics he drew lots of multi-artist jam strips in B. Patston's Psychopia. He drew a Russell comic in Danny King's Blah, Blah, Blah![4] He previously had a stall at Glastonbury Festival selling tobacco tins and his comics but now his eyesight is failing he doesn't have any plans for more Russell comics

Ah, thank you. You know, looking at a bit more of his body of work, I definately see more of a similarity between Loveday & Paper's work than Crumb's - but being one of the most famous cartoonists alive, anyone whose work even remotely resembles Crumb's style (ie heavy use of crosshatching) is going to get compared to him - Loveday himself being no exception, apparently.
