Description

This volume showcases some of the best research published in the Studies in Comics journal.

Comics have always embraced a diversity of formats, existing in complex relationships with other media, and have been dynamic in their response to new technologies and means of distribution. This collection explores interactions between comics and other media and technologies, employing a wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives.

By focusing on key critical concepts within multimodality (transmediality, adaptation, intertextuality) and addressing multiple platforms and media (digital, analog, music, prose, linguistics, graphics), this collection expands and develops existing comics theory and addresses multiple other media and disciplines. This volume demonstrates the evolution of comics studies over the last decade and shows how this research field has engaged with various media and technologies in a continuously evolving, multimodal artistic and production environment.
