After the successful and innovative first two editions, now in a
new, restructured 3rd edition, this remains the most authoritative
introduction for studying comic books and graphic novels, covering
their place in contemporary culture, the manifestations and
techniques of the art form, the evolution of the medium and how to
analyze and write about them. The new edition includes: - A
completely reworked introduction explores the comics community in
the US and globally, its history, and the role of different
communities in advancing the medium and its study - Chapters
reframed to get students thinking about themselves as consumers and
makers of comics - Reorganized chapters on form help to unpack
encapsulation, composition and layout - Completely new chapters on
comics and how they can be used to report, document, and persuade,
as well as a new Preface by Karen Green Illustrated throughout,
with discussion questions and activities for every chapter and an
extensive glossary of key terms, The Power of Comics and Graphic
Novels also includes further updated resources available online
including additional essays, weblinks and sample syllabi.
