The Cartoon History is illustrated in a black-and-white cartoon style. While seeking a book publisher, Gonick received early support from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who worked as an editor at Doubleday and championed The Cartoon History of the Universe's publication by the company. Rip Off Press published 9 issues from 1978 to 1992 the first collected edition was published by Doubleday in 1990. San Francisco-based underground comix publisher Rip Off Press began publishing The Cartoon History of the Universe in 1978, with the first six issues being published by 1981. The books have been translated into many languages, including Portuguese, Greek, Czech and Polish. The final two volumes, published in 20, are named The Cartoon History of the Modern World volumes one and two. The final volume covers history from the late 18th century to early 2008. Though originally published as a comic book series, the series is now published in trade paperback volumes of several hundred pages each. Each book in the series explains a period of world history in a loosely chronological order. It is written and illustrated by American cartoonist, professor, and mathematician Larry Gonick, who started the project in 1978.
The Cartoon History of the Universe is a book series about the history of the world.
