About This Book
The Cartoon History of the Universe is an ongoing comic book series
about the history of the world. It is written and illustrated by
American cartoonist, professor, and mathematician Larry Gonick.
Each book in the series explains a period of world history in a loosely
chronological order. Though originally published in limited runs as
comic books, the series is now published in trade paperback volumes of
several hundred pages each
Easily the most distinct characteristic of The Cartoon History of the
Universe is Larry Gonick’s vigorous cartoon style. His black lines range
from occasional loose crosshatching for a photographic effect to a
dominant pen-and-ink squiggle that recalls Bill Watterson's Calvin and
Hobbes, Walt Kelly's Pogo, and Albert Uderzo's Astérix.
Readers likely range from bright adolescents to adults. Although
cartoons are a staple of children's entertainment, most kids under age
12 would have difficulty with The Cartoon History of the Universe. Larry
Gonick's scholarly approach, with its deliberate focus on cerebral
humor, shows that the series' intended audience is older.
