This penultimate work in John Lent's series of bibliographies on
comic art gathers together an astounding array of citations on
American cartoonists and their work. Author John Lent has used all
manner of methods to gather the citations, searching library and
online databases, contacting scholars and other professionals,
attending conferences and festivals, and scanning hundreds of
periodicals. He has gone to great length to categorize the
citations in an easy-to-use, scholarly fashion, and in the process,
has helped to establish the field of comic art as an important part
of social science and humanities research.
The ten volumes in this series, covering all regions of the
world, constitute the largest printed bibliography of comic art in
the world, and serve as the beacon guiding the burgeoning fields of
animation, comics, and cartooning. They are the definitive works on
comic art research, and are exhaustive in their inclusiveness,
covering all types of publications (academic, trade, popular, fan,
etc.) from all over the world. Also included in these books are
citations to systematically-researched academic exercises, as well
as more ephemeral sources such as fanzines, press articles, and
fugitive materials (conference papers, unpublished documents,
etc.), attesting to Lent's belief that all pieces of information
are vital in a new field of study such as comic art.
