<br/><br/> This volume features works by thirteen artists who employ erasure and blurring, appropriation and ambiguity to put a new spin on the relationship between the vernacular language of pop culture and rarefied brands of "fine art." Roxana Marcoci's essay looks at each artist in depth and considers how comic characters, style, and narrative structures-so deeply imprinted in our collective consciousness-retain their visual potency even when totally abstracted. Also included are interviews with the artists and selected exhibition histories and bibliographies.
