Newsweek: Comics’ Worldwide Boom

Read at least the first page of this Newsweek article for its summary of the international growth in comics, which seems to me a pretty decent one, at least on first glance. The rest of it bounces between some dubious theories -- comics movies led to comics interest in bookstores led to the discovery of manga and Joe Sacco comics? -- and some strong quote work from people like Marjane Satrapi. Even an article that at times feels slightly off like this one does can be sort of exciting because it embraces the possibilities of a worldwide comics market where art plays as significant a role as broader commerce.
