Like jazz and baseball, cartoons are an indelible, indigenous part of American culture. Celebrating 250 years of American comics art, Cartoon America is an uprecedented selection of original works by the best, most accomplished creators in the history of comics illustration, including Thomas Nast, Charles Schulz, Winsor McCay, Jules Feiffer, and many, many others.

With accompanying essays written exclusively for this volume by such luminaries as John Updike, Art Spiegelman, and Chris Ware, Cartoon America includes many firsts, earliests, and one-of-a-kinds, including cells from classic animated films, vintage editorial cartoons, newspaper strips, caricatures, award-winning drawings, magazine illustrations, comic books, and much more.

Published in conjunction with the Library of Congress's landmark exhibition of original art from the collection of cartoonist J. Arthur Wood, Jr., Cartoon America is a treasure trove for the comics and cartoon enthusiast and an authoritative survey of this distinctly American art form.
