The Cambridge Companion to Comics presents comics as a
multifaceted prism, generating productive and insightful dialogues
with the most salient issues concerning the humanities at
large. This volume provides readers with the histories and
theories necessary for studying comics. It consists of three
sections: Forms maps the most significant comics forms,
including material formats and
techniques. Readings brings together a selection of
tools to equip readers with a critical understanding of comics.
Uses examines the roles accorded to comics in museums,
galleries, and education. Chapters explore comics through several
key aspects, including drawing, serialities, adaptation, transmedia
storytelling, issues of stereotyping and representation, and the
lives of comics in institutional and social settings. This
volume emphasizes the relationship between comics and other media
and modes of expression. It offers close readings of vital works,
covering more than a century of comics production and extending
across visual, literary and cultural disciplines.
