Bill Kartalopoulos
Bill Kartalopoulos is a multidisciplinary comics specialist whose primary research practice focuses on links between comics and various art and avant-garde movements. He teaches graduate courses about comics and graphic novels at Washington University in St. Louis, the School of Visual Arts in New York, and the Université de Picardie Jules Verne in Amiens, France. He recently co-curated Rewriting the World: Isidore Isou and the Lettrist Book at the Center for Book Arts. He is currently finishing a general history of North American comics, to be published by Princeton University Press, and is editing a second volume of Joe Brainard’s comics to be published by New York Review Books.
This book is implicitly about the craft of making comics and explicitly about the practice of telling stories. What makes a good story, Kim Deitch’s book asks? A good story is one that feels solid and alive, something that resembles and reflects the human experience.
