Comics, one of the most widely read media oif the twentitth century, serves as an ideal for focusing on an investigation on the word-and-image question. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays attempts to give an answer. The first six see words and images as separate art forms that play with or against each other. David Kunzle finds that words restrict the meaning of the art of Adolphe Willette and Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen in \u003ci\u003eLe Chat Noir\u003c\/i\u003e David A. Berona, examining wordless novels, argues that the ability to read pictures depends on the ability to read words. Todd Taylor draws on classical rhetoric to demonstrate that images in \u003ci\u003eThe Road Runner\u003c\/i\u003e are more persuasive that words. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eN. C.
