Encompassing 29 countries of Europe, this detailed bibliography
covers the field of comic art. European academicians and
journalists began the study of comic art earlier than their
counterparts in other areas of the world. This volume reflects
those efforts as well as the substantial growth of contemporary
writings. Art Historian David Kunzle introduces the work, thus
acknowledging the importance of Europe's lead in the scholarship of
comic art in all its forms. This is one of four volumes dealing
with various regions of the world in an attempt for the first time
to present a comprehensive, international study of comic art
scholarship.
Chapters are country(ies) specific, except for the first, which
includes continental, regional, and comparative perspectives. A
feature of chapter one is its resources component, including an
annotated directory of 81 comic art-related periodicals. Because of
an unusually large number of sources, the chapters on Belgium,
France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy were expanded and
subcategorised beyond historical and contemporary perspectives and
specific comic art forms. Thus, many citations appear under
categories of children's press, festivals, humor periodicals,
anthologies, art and aesthetics, cinema, education and culture,
effects debate, genres, industry, language and semiotics, legal
aspects, literature, psychology, religion, socio-cultural aspects,
and technical aspects. Additionally, more than 250 individual
cartoonists and over 110 characters and titles were given separate
categories. Art Historian David Kunzle, who has written the
definitive histories of comic art precursors, wrote a personalized
foreword. A preface delineating the unique characteristics of the
book and complete indices conveniently divided by authors,
cartoonists, characters and titles, periodicals, and subjects are
provided.
