Immigrants and Comics is an interdisciplinary, themed anthology
that focuses on how comics have played a crucial role in
representing, constructing, and reifying the immigrant subject and
the immigrant experience in popular global culture of the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries. Nhora Lucia Serrano and a diverse group
of contributors examine immigrant experience as they navigate new
socio-political milieux in cartoons, comics, and graphic novels
across cultures and time periods. They interrogate how immigration
is portrayed in comics and how the 'immigrant' was an indispensable
and vital trope to the development of the comics medium in the
twentieth century. At the heart of the book's interdisciplinary
nexus is a critical framework steeped in the ideas of remembrance
and commemoration, what Pierre Nora calls lieux de memoire. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars in Visual
Studies, Comparative Literature, English, Ethnic Studies,
Francophone Studies, American Studies, Hispanic Studies, art
history, and museum studies.

In this unique tale that combines dark humor with hair-raising
horror, a boy hears a disconcerting sound one night and fears
there's a monster in his bedroom. When he investigates the noise,
what he discovers isn't a monster, but a skeleton who's cold and
whose bones shiver and clack. When skeletons are cold, however,
they can only be warmed by one kind of coat: human skin. The
thieving skeleton steals the boy's flesh to warm himself, and now
the boy has become the skeleton, cold and looking for a "coat" of
his own with which to warm himself. "En este cuento unico que
combina un humor negro con el horror espeluznante, un nino escucha
un sonido desconcertante una noche y teme que hay un monstruo en su
cuarto. Cuando investiga el sonido, lo que descubre no es un
monstruo, sino un esqueleto con frio cuyos huesos tiriten y
repiquetean. El frio de los esqueletos, sin embargo, solo se quita
con un tipo de abrigo: la piel humana. Este esqueleto ladron roba
la piel del nino para calentarse, y ahora es el nino el que se ha
convertido en esqueleto, pasando frio y buscando un "abrigo" propio
con el cual arroparse."
