This cutting-edge handbook brings together an international roster of scholars to examine many facets of comics and graphic novels. Contributor essays provide authoritative, up-to-date overviewsof the major topics and questions within comic studies, offering readers a truly global approach to understanding the field.





Essays examine:









  • the history of the temporal, geographical, and formal development of comics, including topics like art comics, manga, comix, and the comics code;






  • issues such as authorship, ethics, adaptation, and translating comics;






  • connections between comics and other artistic media (drawing, caricature, film) as well as the linkages between comics and other academic fields like linguistics and philosophy;






  • new perspectives on comics genres, from funny animal comics to war comics to romance comics and beyond.






The Routledge Companion to Comics expertly organizes representative work from a range of disciplines, including media and cultural studies, literature, philosophy, and linguistics. More than an introduction to the study of comics, this book will serve as a crucial reference for anyone interested in pursuing research in the area, guiding students, scholars, and comics fans alike.
