Beschreibung
At the beginning of the 21st century, comics are a medium
`on the rise’ in scholarship and in schools. This collection
of essays, which emerged from a graduate student conference
at TU Dortmund University, demonstrates their immense
medial, artistic, and cultural potential. Authors from
different academic perspectives take readers on an engaging
trip through the world of contemporary comic books ranging
from widely popular series to exclusive avant-garde auteur
works.
“An excellent collection of essays offering an impressive
range of critical perspectives on Anglo-American comics.”
Daniel Stein, co-editor of From Comic Strips to
Graphic Novels and Transnational Perspectives on Graphic
Narratives
