This book explores how comics function to make meanings in the
manner of a language. It outlines a framework for describing the
resources and practices of comics creation and readership, using an
approach that is compatible with similar descriptions of linguistic
and multimodal communication. The approach is based largely on the
work of Michael Halliday, drawing also on the pragmatics of Paul
Grice, the Text World Theory of Paul Werth and Joanna Gavins, and
ideas from art theory, psychology and narratology. This brings a
broad Hallidayan framework of multimodal analysis to comics
scholarship, and plays a part in extending that tradition of
multimodal linguistics to graphic narrative.
