Professor Hillary Chute has been named a comics and graphic novels columnist for The New York Times Book Review, along with author and editor Ed Park.
“This column will allow us to treat comics and graphic novels for what they are, some of the most creative and richly rewarding books being published today,” said Gal Beckerman, an editor at the Book Review. “And these two critics, each coming from different directions but both fantastic writers with a deep knowledge about comics, will introduce us to new work and new authors as well as the latest from more established ones, and explore them with the seriousness they deserve.”
