NOTE: The conception of this book,
as well as chapters 1, 7, 8, 9, 11,
and the notes for all the chapters (except chapters 10 and 12) were
done
by Pierre Couperie of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes Historiques.
Proto Destefanis and
Edouard François have treated the
Italian and the French-language comic strips, respectively, in chapters
2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The history of the
American comic strip (in chapters
2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) was written by Maurice C. Horn, who also assisted in
the final editing of this book.
Claude Moliterni is the
author of Chapter 10, devoted to narrative
technique.
Gérald
Gassoit-Talabot prepared Chapter 12, devoted to
narrative figuration.
