Humorous illustration is a lively art, as varied in attitude as in means of execution. For the illustrator who specializes in humor or the artist who wishes to refine that aspect of his work, the problem of translating a comic point of view into a graphic reality is vital. The illustrators in this book, whose work appears in comic strips, magazines, paperbacks, books, greeting cards, and on television, explain how they manage to capture on paper the spontaneity, the essence, of their particular brands of wit. The twelve highly successful artists represented here offer a remarkably diverse sampling of subject matter, technique, and approach. This behind-the-scenes look at their lives and work explores the unique creative process of each. -- From publisher's description.

Illustrations used for story-telling and mirth-making have enlivened Asian walls, scrolls, books, public and private places, and artifacts for millennia. Often playful and humorous, Asian pictorial stories lent conspicuous elements to contemporary comic art, particularly with their use of narrative nuance, humor, satire, and dialogue. Illustrating Asia is a fascinating book on a subject that is of wide and topical interest. All of the articles consider cartoon and/or comic art in the historical and social setting of seven South, Southeast, and East Asian countries: India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, China, and Japan. The contributors treat comic and narrative art—including comic books, comic strips, picture books, and humor and fan magazines—in both historical and socio-cultural perspectives, as well as portrayals of ancient Chinese philosophy, gender, and the enemy in cartoons and comics. Contributors: Laine Berman, John A. Lent, Fusami Ogi, Rei Okamoto, Ronald Provencher, Aruna Rao, Kuiyi Shen, Shimizu Isao, Shu-chu Wei, Yingjin Zhang.
