This book explores some of the less frequently questioned ideas
which underpin comics creation and criticism. "Mise en scene" is a
term which refers to the way in which visual elements work together
to create meaning in comics. It is a term that comics have borrowed
from cinema, which borrowed it in turn from theatre. But comics are
not film and they are not cinema, so how can this term be of any
use? If we consider comics to have mise en scene, should not we
also ask if the characters in comics act like the characters on
film and stage? In its exploration of these ideas, this book also
asks what film and theatre can learn from comics.
