This anthology hosts a collection of essays examining the role of
comics as portals for historical and academic content, while
keeping the approach on an international market verses the American
one. Few resources currently exist showing the cross-disciplinary
aspects of comics. Some of the chapters examine the use of Wonder
Woman during World War II, the development and culture of French
comics, and theories of Locke and Hobbs in regards to the state of
nature and the bonds of community. More so, the continual use of
comics for the retelling of classic tales and current events
demonstrates that the genre has long passed the phase of for
children's eyes only. Additionally, this anthology also weaves
graphic novels into the dialogue with comics.

This book combines legal as well as political and theoretical
questions in a variety of contexts, ranging from legal issues in
the early modern period to critical explorations of law/s, justice
and textuality in contemporary literature and culture. The essays
in this volume offer critical perspectives on the role of
literature and theory in relation to the law and explore otherness
and justice in early modern, Victorian and contemporary texts,
postmodern theory, colonial and postcolonial contexts and popular
culture. Examining how legal and literary narratives construct,
repress, legitimise, but also enable the Other, this volume offers
new insights into forms of alterity, marginality and exclusion and
articulates the imperative need to reconfigure issues of justice as
always intertwined with the Other.
