When the term "graphic novel" entered the vernacular in the 1980s, it was assumed that it represented an evolution in publishing, one that would replicate what had been achieved with prose. Graphic novels in many ways have achieved just that, but for many creators in this field, the designation is a loaded one. The term "graphic novel" implies a certain level of artistic maturity and complexity that might not actually be found within its framework. "artcut2009graphicdisccrack," coming out this month from ArtCut/Black & White Books, is an artist's bold response to these notions. More than just an artist's book, this hand-bound volume is also a manifesto that boldly drives home the point that graphic novels are not necessarily "easier" to create. "artcut2009graphicdisccrack" features over 40 artists who cover topics as personal, political and philosophical as they are narrative, including Chris Ware, Gary Panter, Peter Kuper and R. Sikoryak. The following essay highlights some of the more compelling work found in this anthology: "To call this book 'a manifesto' is perhaps too grandiose. However, I wanted to emphasize that it is not about making graphic novels 'easier'. For some of these artists, the graphic novel format will be a new one for them. And I hope that in the end they will see that this is not about simplifying or reducing what you can do with comics or in any other medium." – artcut2009graphicdisccrack, 2009 The Story of Princess Waverly and the Magic Thorned Ring by Bhob Stewart & Josh Neufield (Colors by Ben Katchor) Josh Neufield's "The Story of Princess Waverly and the Magic Thorned Ring" is an example of what "artcut2009graphicdisccrack" is all about. "This is an art book that incorporates comics, illustrations, poetry and prose. The primary focus is the Princess Waverly story, told in three parts. Each part has its own visual direction that adapts to the different moods of the story. This was a challenge for me as an illustrator because unlike comics which are often sequential like a movie, my drawings were spiraling outwards over much larger areas than usually possible with one sheet of paper or one page of text." – Josh Neufield As part of his larger body of work, Peter Kuper's "What It Means To Be Human (and Other Stories)" tells us much more about himself than it does about his work. "I didn't want to make graphic novels easier by focusing on a single, central theme. And I didn't want to be limited by the available formats for comics, for example. I also wanted to create stories that were inherently funny, but which were not necessarily funny in the way that most contemporary cartoonists are known for." "What It Means To Be Human (and Other Stories)" was originally conceived as a classroom assignment for illustrated storytelling. Kuper wrote the story with his students and told it in class. cfa1e77820
