Beschreibung

Jerry Robinson is one of the living legends of American comics. As a member of the original "Batman "team, he created the first and most iconic of all supervillains, the Joker, and cocreated Robin, the archetypal sidekick. During the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, Robinson worked on every comic book genre there was, and brought to life his own super heroes such as London, Jet Scott, and Atoman. His artistry also extended beyond comic books into editorial cartooning and popular syndicated newspaper strips such as "Still Li""fe" and "Flubs & Fluffs," as well as magazine and book illustration, fine arts, academia, and humanitarian affairs. Robinson has been an influential teacher, an important curator of cartooning art exhibits, and a tireless champion of artists' rights. This rich, fully illustrated collection of his work was written in collaboration with the artist himself.
