One -panel comics are often seen as simplistic and not worthy of critical attention.

Michelle Ann Abate , author of a new book, Singular Sensations: A Cultural History of One-Panel Comics in the U.S. Abate : Even comics like “ Ziggy ” that don’t have a lot of cultural cachet have something to offer when read critically.

Singular Sensations examines an array of popular one -panel comics from the 1890s through the present day .

Many of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed titles over the years — from “ The Far Side ,” “ Ziggy ” to “Heathcliff” - have been single-panel.

“Single-panel comic form is examples of the medium at its most concentrated, compact and concise”.
