Comics: An Introduction provides a clear and detailed introduction
to the Comics form - including graphic narratives and a range of
other genres - explaining key terms, history, theories, and major
themes. The book uses a variety of examples to show the rich
history as well as the current cultural relevance and significance
of Comics. Taking a broadly global approach, Harriet Earle
discusses the history and development of the form internationally,
as well as how to navigate comics as a new way of reading. Earle
also pushes beyond the book to lay out the ways that fans engage
with their comics of choice - and how this can impact the industry.
She also analyses how Comics can work for social change and
political comment. Discussing journalism and life writing, she
examines how the coming together of word and image gives us new
ways to discuss our world and ourselves. A glossary and further
reading section help those new to Comics solidify their
understanding and further their exploration of this dynamic and
growing field.
