2016: We Told You So: Comics As Art tells of Fantagraphics Books' key role in helping build an art movement in the 1970s around a discredited, ignored and fading art form: comics. Assembling an all-star cast including Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Harlan Ellison, Jim Shooter, Stan Lee, Daniel Clowes, Frank Miller, Peter Bagge, Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, Dave Sim, Steve Geppi, Todd McFarlane and every other major figure in modern comics, Comics As Art
makes the warts and all case for Fantagraphics Books' position near the heart of the modern reclamation of the comics art form.
