A Comic Studies Reader

Argumento

A Comics Studies Reader offers the best of the new comics scholarship and is ideal for classroom use. The anthology covers the pioneering work of Rodolphe Töpffer, the Disney comics of Carl Barks, and the graphic novels of Art Spiegelman and Chris Ware, as well as Peanuts, romance comics, and superheroes. It explores the stylistic achievements of manga, the international anti-comics campaign, and power and class in Mexican comic books and English illustrated stories. Hattie Kennedy, writing for the website Bookriot.com (4/26/17), says that "this edited collection of essays, articles, and extracts from longer books is a brilliant place to start if you want to read a range of approaches to the construction of comics."
