Father of the Comic Strip by David Kunzle
Sixty years before the comics entered the American newspaper press, Rodolphe Toepffer of Geneva invented a new art form: the comic strip, or picture story, that is now the graphic novel. In a biographical framework, Kunzle situates the comic strips in the Genevan and European culture of the time as well as in relation to Toepffer's other work.
David Kunzle is a professor of art history at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the author of many books on popular culture and graphic arts, including History of the Comic Strip: The Nineteenth Century.
