A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 2019 Comics studies has
reached a crossroads. Graphic novels have never received more
attention and legitimation from scholars, but new canons and new
critical discourses have created tensions within a field built on
the populist rhetoric of cultural studies. As a result, comics
studies has begun to cleave into distinct camps-based primarily in
cultural or literary studies-that attempt to dictate the boundaries
of the discipline or else resist disciplinarity itself. The
consequence is a growing disconnect in the ways that comics
scholars talk to each other-or, more frequently, do not talk to
each other or even acknowledge each other's work. Breaking the
Frames: Populism and Prestige in Comics Studies surveys the current
state of comics scholarship, interrogating its dominant schools,
questioning their mutual estrangement, and challenging their
propensity to champion the comics they study. Marc Singer advocates
for greater disciplinary diversity and methodological rigor in
comics studies, making the case for a field that can embrace more
critical and oppositional perspectives. Working through extended
readings of some of the most acclaimed comics creators-including
Marjane Satrapi, Alan Moore, Kyle Baker, and Chris Ware-Singer
demonstrates how comics studies can break out of the celebratory
frameworks and restrictive canons that currently define the field
to produce new scholarship that expands our understanding of comics
and their critics.
