He sampled old comic-book pages for most of his color fills, but when he draws an event that took place after 1984-85, he dumps in flat color and bright inks. These panels seem to bounce off the page and emphasize the hazy nostalgia of the rest of the art. If his ingenuity here is any indication, the twists -- and the hits -- will just keep coming.-- \"NPR\" Review Quotes : For the uninitiated, this is not some dry distillation of facts and dates via narrative. Mr. Piskor's storytelling uses the same engaging, pointillist method seen in the prior three volumes: Connecting the many, very human dots that put a relatively small group of street and club DJs and MCs at the forefront of the creation of one of the most important musical forms of the past century. If he were merely a historian writing about such a vital period, it would be enticing enough. Scouring books, blogs, podcasts, Youtube and anything else to pinpoint hundreds of moments of time for each volume, the legwork Mr. Piskor puts into accurately presenting this history is legendary. But at his core, Mr. Piskor is a powerful visual artist. The style he established in the very first volume continues to grab the viewer. He exaggerates just the right parts of his chosen characters with a technique that intentionally celebrates both the Marvel Comics' artists of the 1970s, as well as one of Mr.Piskor's idols, underground comic artist R. Crumb.-- \"Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\" Review Quotes : Educational, entertaining, and unmissable.-- \"WIRED\" Publisher Marketing : Book 4 charts the rise of Dr. Dre and Def Jam records, and introduces new branches on the \"tree\" Will Smith, Salt-N-Pepa, Rakim, and Biz Markie. This volume is also jam-packed with films Hollywood released in an attempt to cash in on the phenomenon, like Breakin' , Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo , Beat Street , Krush Groove and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016-08-02\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47204475371746,"sku":"9781606999400","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781606999400.jpg?v=1765486217"},{"product_id":"9781606999417","title":"Hip Hop Family Tree 1983-1985 Vols. 3-4 Gift Box Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eA special slipcover and a special comic are included in the smash hit s gift set.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: He's not just doin' a comic book, he's doin' a piece of history.--Darryl \"DMC\" McDaniels Publisher Marketing : Hip Hop hooray for the holidays!

Piskor's art style, somewhere between Jack Kirby and R. Crumb, looks as good as, maybe better than, ever.--Ray Olson \"Booklist\" Review Quotes : Hip Hop Family Tree ... [is] ...an exhaustive, lovingly-rendered portrayal of the movement's explosive early moments.--Nathan Reese \"Complex\" Review Quotes : Marvel at hip-hop greatness.--Andres Tardio \"MTV News\" Review Quotes : Richly detailed and thoroughly researched.--Abel Charrow \"Nerdist\" Review Quotes : Ed Piskor's stylish, funny, assiduously researched history of hip-hop is hugely engaging and enlightening.--Glen Weldon \"NPR\" Review Quotes : The amount of research he's done sets a rather terrifying new standard for anyone else inclined to study the birth of hip-hop.... No less brilliant than Piskor's journalism is his graphical skill.--Etelka Lehoczky \"NPR Books\" Review Quotes : When cartoonist Ed Piskor decided to unspool the labyrinth history of one of America's greatest artistic accomplishments, he spared no effort to immerse his readers in the era of jump suits and scarred vinyl. Everything in Hip Hop Family Tree screams nostalgia: the Ben-Day dots, the sepia discoloration...even the print feels course and pulpy, like a priceless cultural artifact unearthed in a garage sale or your dad's basement. Flipping through the oversized pages, you can almost hear the slap bass, horn swells, and ricocheting rhymes of hip-hop's inaugural years.--Sean Edgar \"Paste\" Review Quotes : The cartoonist's encyclopedic love for his subject matter - and his energetic depiction of its beefs, battle-raps and gradual rags-to-riches rise to fame - makes Hip Hop Family Tree a rigorous, scholarly work of pop culture history, masquerading as great comics.--Sean Rogers \"The Globe and Mail\" Review Quotes : Pittsburgh cartoonist Piskor continues his authoritative and highly entertaining graphic history of hip-hop, with tales of the early days of Run-DMC, the Beastie Boys, and the Fat Boys.--Dan DeLuca \"The Inquirer (Philadelphia)\" Review Quotes : Comic book writer and illustrator Ed Piskor is working to preserve a sense of hip-hop's early history through the widely acclaimed Hip-Hop Family Tree comic series from Fantagraphics, an expansive look at the early '80s formative hip-hop scene and the young pioneers that poured the foundation.--Jason Tabrys \"UPROXX\" Review Quotes : If you love hip-hop culture or comics, you have to get these books immediately. If you hate hip-hip culture or comics, then these books will convert you into a lover of both.--Nick Gazin \"VIce\" Review Quotes : These are dookie-gold-chain d-o-p-e.--Darcy MacDonald \"CultMTL\" Review Quotes : Piskor's work doesn't just capture the mood of old school hip hop. It taps into the feel of school comics as well. ... This is the kind of book that's designed to be spread out on the floor while resting on your belly, the stereo turned up as loud as you can stand it. Piskor's mastery of the comics page is like a DJ's best breakbeat record -- no matter where you drop the needle, you're going to find something good.--Jeremy Estes \"Graphic Novel Reporter\" Review Quotes : Retelling the history of hip hop in the style of '80s Marvel comics, wasn't necessarily a good idea... it was the best idea. ... HHFT [is] an incredible achievement, as well as one of comics' greatest nonfiction works.--Rob Bricken \"io9\" Review Quotes : Extraordinary effort. Even if you are not a hip-hop fan, you need to read this.--Jatin Varma \"The Economic Times\" Review Quotes : Acclaimed comic book artist Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree series is as fresh and electric as the music it salutes.--Jamie Blaine \"The Weeklings\" Review Quotes : Whether you were there when it was happening or not, [ Hip Hop Family Tree ] will unfold a rich universe of music history and all the knock-on effects of it too. With the warmth and immediacy only a true fan could impart, Piskor tells the ongoing history of Hip Hop in these lovingly crafted volumes.--Sonia Harris \"Comic Book Resources\" Review Quotes : ...[ Hip Hop Family Tree ] gets better and better as its core cast of characters gets fully established and we get a bit more in-depth with them. ... Piskor's style and design choices push the quality of this history of hip-hop over the top.--Rob Clough \"The Comics Journal\" Publisher Marketing : Ed Piskor's acclaimed graphic novel series continues! Book 3 highlights Run DMC's rise to fame and introduces unassailable acts like Whodini, The Fat Boys, Slick Rick, and Doug E Fresh. The Beastie Boys become a rap group.
