> Comics! Cartoons! Anime! Manga! Graphic novels! Video games! This  
> vibrant and engaging book, catalog to a landmark exhibition,  
> celebrates the variety and growing significance of visual pop  
> culture. Stunningly illustrated with eye-popping art, KRAZY!  
> investigates the uniqueness of these forms while considering the  
> ways they interconnect. Curated by many of the artists who first  
> brought these forms to the public's attention, this volume features  
> commentary and interviews with Maus author Art Spiegelman, SimCity  
> creator Will Wright, and Canadian comic book author and illustrator  
> Seth, along with Tim Johnson (codirector of Antz and Over the  
> Hedge), Kiyoshi Kusumi (a global authority on manga), and media  
> theory critic Toshiya Ueno. This pathbreaking volume crosses  
> boundaries between the printed arts, films, and video games and  
> analyzes the reciprocal influences between fields, highlighting the  
> best of each. The energy and intensity of the images leap off every  
> page, and the full experience of the exhibit itself comes alive in  
> behind-the-scenes commentary by the contributors. _KRAZY! _is a  
> dizzying introduction to the art forms that will dominate the new  
> century.
