Description
Comic book studies has developed as a solid academic discipline, becoming an increasingly vibrant field in the United States and globally.
A growing number of dissertations, monographs, and edited books publish every year on the subject, while world comics represent the fastest-growing sector of publishing.
The Oxford Handbook of Comic Book Studies looks at the field systematically, examining the history and evolution of the genre from a global perspective.
This includes a discussion of how comic books are built out of shared aesthetic systems such as literature, painting, drawing, photography, and film.
The Handbook brings together readable, jargon-free essays written by established and emerging scholars from diverse geographic, institutional, gender, and national backgrounds.
In particular, it explores how the term "global comics" has been defined, as well the major movements and trends that will drive the field in the years to come.
Each essay will help readers understand comic books as a storytelling form grown within specific communities, and will also show how these forms exist within what can be considered a world system of comics.
