Wonder Woman, Amazon Princess; Asterix, indefatigable Gaul;
Ozymandias, like Alexander looking for new worlds to conquer.
Comics use classical sources, narrative patterns, and references to
enrich their imaginative worlds and deepen the stories they
present. Son of Classics and Comics explores that rich interaction.
This volume presents thirteen original studies of representations
of the ancient world in the medium of comics. Building on the
foundation established by their groundbreaking Classics and Comics
(OUP, 2011), Kovacs and Marshall have gathered a wide range of
studies with a new, global perspective. Chapters are helpfully
grouped to facilitate classroom use, with sections on receptions of
Homer, on manga, on Asterix, and on the sense of a 'classic' in the
modern world. All Greek and Latin are translated. Lavishly
illustrated, the volume widens the range of available studies on
the reception of the Greek and Roman worlds in comics
significantly, and deepens our understanding of comics as a
literary medium. Son of Classics and Comics will appeal to students
and scholars of classical reception as well as comics fans.
