Written in straightforward, jargon-free language, A Concise
Dictionary of Comics guides students, researchers, readers, and
educators of all ages and at all levels of comics expertise. It
provides them with a dictionary that doubles as a compendium of
comics scholarship. A Concise Dictionary of Comics provides clear
and informative definitions for each term. It includes twenty-five
witty illustrations, and pairs most defined terms with references
to books, articles, book chapters, and other relevant critical
sources. All references are dated and listed in an extensive,
up-to-date bibliography of comics scholarship. Each term is also
categorized according to type in an index of thematic groupings.
This organization serves as a pedagogical aid for teachers and
students learning about a specific facet of comics studies and as a
research tool for scholars who are unfamiliar with a particular
term but know what category it falls into. These features make A
Concise Dictionary of Comics especially useful for critics,
students, teachers, and researchers, and a vital reference to
anyone else who wants to learn more about comics.
