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.

East. The authors consider various media including fiction, film,
Youtube videos, and fan sites. For scholars and fans alike, this
collection of essays will provide new perspectives on Jewish
presences in speculative fiction around the world.
