More than just curatorial history, Munson's self-described 'curated selection' of essays and interviews, replete with orientational 'section labels' (in keeping with curatorial parlance), constitutes a kind of curatorial sourcebook. Each exhibit provides a useful case study for reflection not only on where comic art came from and where it is going in the larger art world, but also on the key, often hidden, role in this dynamic played by curatorial initiatives and choices. It is an informative and highly recommendable read for any professional or layperson pursuing art history, comics studies, or museology.--Michael D. Picone European Comic Art In this collection, Munson takes us inside the courtroom of the museum where, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, the nature of art is on trial. Valuable for both fans and academics alike, this collection provides the groundwork for debate in future graduate and undergraduate courses on sequential art, museum studies, and art history.--Robert Ribera, Portland State University Journal of Popular Culture
