'Just what is it that makes today's pop culture so different, so appealing? Comics! Cartoons! Anime! Manga! Graphic novels! Video games! This vibrant book, companion to a landmark exhibition, celebrates the variety and growing significance of visual culture. Stunningly illustrated with eye-popping art, KRAZY! investigates the uniqueness of these forms and the ways they interconnect. Put together by some of the genres' most influential artists and cultural producers, it features commentary and interviews with Maus author Art Spiegelman, Sims creator Will Wright and comic artist Seth, along with Tim Johnson (co-director of Antz and Over the Hedge), Kiyoshi Kusumi (a global authority on manga), media theorist and critic Toshiya Ueno and visual arts curator Bruce Grenville. This groundbreaking volume crosses boundaries between the printed arts, films and video games and analyzes the reciprocal influence between fields, highlighting the best of each.' - from the back cover

Published in conjunction with an exhibition presented by the Vancouver Art Gallery from 17 May 2008 to 7 September 2008. With contributors' biographies.
