{"product_id":"filmish-a-graphic-journey-through-film","title":"Filmish: A Graphic Journey Through Film","description":"Product Description  Edinburgh-based cartoonist Edward Ross uses comics to illuminate the ideas behind our favourite films. In Filmish, Ross’s cartoon alter-ego guides readers through the annals of cinematic history, introducing us to some of the strange and fascinating concepts at work in the movies. Each chapter focuses on a particular theme – the body, architecture, language – and explores an eclectic mix of cinematic triumphs, from A Trip to the Moon to Aliens. Sitting within the tradition of bestselling non-fiction graphic novels like Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics and the Introducing… series, Filmish tackles serious issues – sexuality, race, censorship, propaganda – with authority and wit, throwing new light on some of the greatest films ever made.  About the Author  Edward Ross is a comic book artist, writer and illustrator. Working alongside Dr James Hall, he has created many science-themed comics for universities, museums, charities and research bodies. Ross is a Film Studies graduate and regularly leads workshops in comic book creation. He lives in Edinburgh.","brand":"SelfMadeHero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40806852788309,"sku":"9781910593035N","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/b95614f3-fb94-4f05-8e10-aa9afe312bee.jpg?v=1711797231","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/filmish-a-graphic-journey-through-film","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
