This final work in John Lent's series of bibliographies on comic
art gathers together an astounding array of citations on American
comic books and comic strips. Included in this volume are citations
regarding anthologies and reprints; criticism and reviews;
exhibitions, festivals, and awards; scholarship and theory; and the
business, artistic, cultural, legal, technical, and technological
aspects of American comics. 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materials (conference papers, unpublished documents, etc.),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.
