Comic and fantasy art arn't considered to be fine art. Normally, art history only covers those considered to be fine art or "high-brow" art.
It's only been within the last 20 years really that a lot of the people that do comic/ fantasy art (Low-brow Art) have gain a small bit of acceptance in the art world. Usually it's considered too juvinile or simply thought as illustration therefore it's cast off as having no real art value.
Personally I think it's crap that it's looked at this way. With some of the stuff I've seen in galleries I think most comic book artists and illustrators have more talent than a lot of the "Artists" you'll see anywhere.

Like many relatively new forms of art, it takes a while for it to be accepted by The Man as a genre. Maybe with the increasing interest in fantasy art, there will some day be a Gardner's History of Art book with a chapter on the fantasy art movement of the 20th and 21st centuries ^_~

Well, I'm guessing that you live here in the U.S, [where the art scene exists to tax shelter and generate wealth for the leisure class]
Comic art is more revered in other countries such as Japan where art is judged by the masses by merit of entertainment and cultural influence.
If you ask the average U.S citizen to name off a few "Rock Star Artists" they would not know what you are even talking about.
The idea of art and [what art is] varies from culture to culture. The only quesion that you need to ask and answer is:
"What do I like ?"

Both are probably viewed as commercial art rather than fine art. You're also unlikely to find comic book stories or pulp magazine stories in academic Literary anthologies.

Because the comic book is a fairly new form of art, there were no comic books during the Roman empire.
In our future maybe.

fantasy art can be in people's perspectives, so they are not worth studying
comics however are a different topic
