Description
The Art of Comics: A Philosophical Introduction is the first-ever collection of essays published in English devoted to the philosophical questions raised by the art of comics. The volume, which includes a preface by the renowned comics author Warren Ellis, contains ten cutting-edge essays on a range of philosophical topics raised by comics and graphic novels. These include the definition of comics, the nature of comics genres, the relationship between comics and other arts such as film and literature, the way words and pictures combine in comics, comics authorship, the “language” of comics, and the metaphysics of comics.
The book also contains an in-depth introduction by the co-editors, which provides an overview of both the book and its subject, as well as a brief history of comics and an overview of extant work on the philosophy of comics.
In an area of growing philosophical interest, this volume constitutes a great leap forward in the development of this fast-expanding field and makes a major contribution to the philosophy of art.
