Description
Comics in their mainstream, superhero form are a medium in which enormous importance was attached to craft, communicativeness, legibility and precise narrative. Modernism and the avant-garde, on the other hand, were rejected. Conceptual and non-narrative thinking was alien here, hostile, and treated as a fraud combined with incomprehensible gibberish. Narrative in painting, in turn, was for years regarded as an old-fashioned relic and childishness, unbecoming to a modern artist. (…) That is why artists who blur the boundaries between comics and painting, or more broadly the art world, will always be regarded with a little suspicion for mixing orders, styles and artistic inspirations.
