1. This volume brings together original scholarship on comics that are potentially not receiving the scholarly attention they deserve due to their lack of English translation or that have been studied in scholarship unavailable to an Anglophone audience.
2. The collection collocates works by creators from different national and analytical traditions - Netherlands, Latin America, Greece, Sweden, Poland, Finland, Portugal, Ireland, the Czech Republic, among others - as well as genres within the form, to forge links across the field and give attention to comics in all their various guises.
3. Will be of interest to departments of Literature, Cultural Studies, Popular Culture, Art and Design, Illustration, History, and Film Studies across the UK/US. Additionally, comics features in psychology, sociology, and other social science disciplines, being an excellent medium for disseminating complex research and presenting information in an accessible manner and could be of interest to these departments as well.
