Unpopular Culture is a strong book that achieves a very difficult synthesis of a well-researched and wide-ranging geographical overview with a solid, theoretically based argument - Pierre Bourdieu's model of the cultural field enables Beaty to perform a precise and nuanced analysis of aesthetic and economic changes in European comics over time while surveying the work of many of the most notable creators in the field. The writing is both sophisticated and lucid, and the book makes a significant contribution to the critical literature on comics.-Joseph Witek
