美国漫画史的剧情简介 · · · · · ·
　　n the 20th century, no artistic medium in North America with so much potential for creative expression has had a more turbulent history plagued with less respect than comic books. Through animated montages, readings and interviews, this film guides us through the history of the medium from the late 1930s and 1940s with the first explosion of popularity with the superheroes created by great talents like Jack Kirby and hitting its first artistic zenith with Will Eisner‘s "Spirit". It then shifts to the post war comics world with the rising popularity of crime and horror comics, especially those published by EC Comics under the editorshiop of William B. Gaines until it came crashing down the rise of censorship with the imposition of the Comics Code. In its wake of the devastation of the medium‘s creative freedom, we also explore EC‘s defiant survival with the creation of the singular "Mad Magazine" by Harvey Kurtzman. We then move to the resurgence of the superheroes in the late 1950‘s and 1960‘s typified with the rise of the dramatically innovative Marvel Comics edited by Stan Lee. Still more important is the rise of the the gleefully uninhibited underground comics created by eccentric talents like Robert Crumb and Dan O‘Neill. These leads to profiles of creaters like Harvey Pekar who take the medium into new directions of expression. In the late 1970s and ‘80s we see the rise of alternative comics with such bold talents like Jaime Hernández for "Love and Rockets, Sue Coe for How to Commit Suicide in South Africa and especially for Art Spiegelman for his searing Pulitizer Prize winning Holocaust account, Maus. Finally, we learn of the medium‘s superhero mythos‘ revitalizing moment with the creation of Frank Miller‘s ferocious min-series "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns". Taken together, the film makes its arguement that the medium is far more than the stereotype of juvenile trash but rather it is an artform with a wild history and an exciting future.

漫画始终是最美国的艺术形态（漫画、爵士乐和电影），此片回顾了70、80年代的漫画众生相。蝙蝠侠的变化无疑是个例证，地下漫画代表的呀文化逐渐被文化工业收编，成为“风格”，而地下漫画的魅力永远比“风格”更多。

美漫简史，一群年轻时的大师自述真开心。重点放在介绍地下和独立的漫画，最后用当时的新人FRANK MILLER结尾。这部片主要是拍来调侃现在早已退出历史舞台的漫画审查机构吧？

一群追求自由并且非常有趣的人。音画结合得真好。每个创作者和他笔下的人物气质都相当接近，逗死。漫画的确很适合表现恐怖题材。小时候差点纹一整背的坦克女孩来着。

五彩斑斓的漫画世界... 让我沉醉... 很有创意，很赞的一段发展历史。4.5星，我私心再加一星... 5.5星

角度有趣，虽说叫美国漫画史，但全是业内名家介绍，漫画公司连影子都没有，一看就是粉丝致敬作，应该叫美国漫画人。

跟着去看了HarveyPekar的传记电影美国荣耀，没有纪录片里那段漫画精彩

发现里面不少提及的大腕都有过纪录片或传记片，这片算是个整体的概览。

看过之后对美漫有了更深的了解，把老婆婆涂成贤妻良母那段笑趴了

年轻时候的弗兰克米勒压轴登场，一头飘逸的金发差点没看出来

福兰克米勒长得太像帝坶波顿蝙蝠侠里街头小混混！

纪录片就怕拍成这样，自我感觉太好

对美漫不感冒，但还是很值得一看
