Comics and Culture: Analytical and Theoretical Approaches to Comics

Comics have an important placing in the cultural picture of the 20th Century, not only in its own right as a medium and an art form, but also concerning the ways in which comics have inspired other means of communication, from text books to interactive media. Comics and Culture consists of 13 articles written by scholars from Europe and USA and offers an introduction to the field of comics research. The articles exhibit a great variety of approaches including general discussions for the definition and aesthetics of comics, comparisons of comics with other media, analyses of specific comics and genres, and discussions of the cultural status of comics in society.Anne Magnussen is the author of 'Comics and Culture: Analytical and Theoretical Approaches to Comics', published 2000 under ISBN 9788772895802 and ISBN 8772895802.
