...ligne claire or clear line: a clean, pared-down style of simple, precise lines. His work involved stylized detail throughout, with no shading and sheer blocks of color. Hergé's impact went beyond the world of comic strips, influencing the work of artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. His storytelling was also pioneering. Tom McCarthy, author of last year's Tintin and the Secret of Literature, says the books create "a huge social tableau... managed with all the subtlety normally attributed to Jane Austen and Henry James...
...AC/DC's '70s classic T.N.T. becomes Nam June Paik, named after the grandfather of video art; Devo's Whip It barely misses a beat as an anthem to Abstract Expressionism, Drip It; while Joan Jett's I Love Rock 'N' Roll has even more attitude as I Shot Andy Warhol ("I'm Valerie Solanas, I'm a no hoax, baby").

He, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol and other so-called pop artists were not pop at all; they were commenting from on high, the familiar perch of the intellectual, when they deigned to use vulgar artifacts as the subjects of their paintings. This snobbery still vexes Spiegelman. "I have all sorts of issues with the idea that a Lichtenstein painting of a comic book panel is art but the original comic panel it draws on is not considered art," he told...
