Description: "Wordless books - stories from the early part of the twentieth century told in black-and-white woodcuts - were imaginatively illustrated, powerful, and iconic, and as relevant to the world of today as they were when they were first published. David A. Berona places these works in the context of their time, and in the context of ours, creating a scholarly collection of significance in the burgeoning field of comics and comics history."--Jacket.
