Do Irish superheroes actually sound Irish? Why are Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons funny? How do political cartoonists in India, Turkey, and the US get their point across? What is the impact of English on comics written in other languages? These questions and many more are answered in this volume, which brings together the two fields of comics research and linguistics to produce groundbreaking scholarship. With an international cast of contributors, the book offers novel insights into the role of language in comics, graphic novels, and single-panel cartoons, analyzing the intersections between the visual and the verbal. Contributions examine the relationship between cognitive linguistics and visual elements as well as interrogate the controversial claim about the status of comics as a language. The book argues that comics tell us a great deal about the sociocultural realities of language, exploring what code switching, language contact, dialect, and linguistic variation can tell us about identity - from the imagined and stereotyped to the political and real.

From the brilliant and twisted mind of manga artist Shintaro Kago, a new collection of short stories rife with skin-crawling suspense, visceral body horror, and pitch dark-humor.

In 2018, manga artist Shintaro Kago made his English debut with Dementia 21, a collection of absurdist manga short stories. Readers found themselves delighted and disgusted by his penchant for body horror, black comedy and the surreal paired with his emphatic, kinetic art style. Kago returns at the height of his powers with Brain Damage, where he dials up the gore and absurdity to new heights. Brain Damage collects four new short manga stories, a tantalizing blend of the hilarious and the macabre. In “Labyrinth Quartet,” four identical young women trapped in an eerie building must solve the mystery of why they’ve been gathered there ― while being hunted by a knife-wielding stalker. In “Curse Room,” a plucky health aide is tasked with keeping zombies peaceful, lest they go on a brain-eating rampage. In “Family Portrait,” people throughout town are strangely disappearing without a trace, and the key to it all is a senile and perverted old man. Finally, in “Blood Harvest” a series of gruesomely mangled bodies are found in pristine cars ― and it appears something sinister lurks within these masses of glass and steel.

Classic sports-themed strips from the most beloved newspaper comic of all time! Baseball, football, ice hockey and more, all from the pen of Charles M. Schulz, in a handsome box set of four hardcover compilations.

Charlie Brown on the baseball mound. Lucy pulling away the football. Woodstock driving a Zamboni. Snoopy's side-hustle tennis career. Charles M. Schulz, creator of the most beloved comic strip of all time, saw sports as an essential part of American society, and an endless inspiration for both simple fun and opportunities to reveal and test character... just as they are in real life. The comic strips that resulted are some of the most iconic images in comics history!
Gathered here in a gorgeous four-book hardcover box set are the best of Schulz's sporting-themed strips and sequences, compiled from over fifty years of daily Peanuts cartoons. Themed volumes compile the works pastime by pastime – baseball of course, but football, golf, tennis, basketball, ice skating and hockey are all represented among the four volumes. Team celebrations, personal struggles, solidarity in defeat, joy in play, and pure whimsy - the Peanuts cast of children (plus a dog and a bird) experience them across these 800 pages, more than a few of which ask that age old question: will Lucy ever let Charlie kick that football?

The perfect gift set for the classic comics fan who loves sports, the sports fan who loves Peanuts... or who doesn't yet know that they do. Just in time for summer and Father's Day - play ball!
