Critical approaches to comics: theories and methods
Smith, Matthew J.
Duncan, Randy
Critical Approaches to Comics offers students a deeper understanding of the artistic and cultural significance of comic books and graphic novels by introducing key theories and critical methods for analyzing comics. Each chapter explains and then demonstrates a critical method or approach, which students can then apply to interrogate and critque the meanings and forms of comic books, graphic novels, and sequential art. The authors introduce a wide range of critical perspectives on comics, addressing methodologies including fandom, genre, intertextuality, adaptation, gender, narrative, formalism, visual culture, and much more. As the first comprehensive introduction to critical methods for studying comics, Critical Approaches to Comics is the ideal textbook for introductory and advanced courses in comics studies.
