Abstract

This book has examined the “hidden history” of how approaches drawn from Art History shaped early comics scholarship and indicated how those art-historical methodologies might be applied to the present-day study of comics in light of the shifts and debates that have occurred within Art History in the intervening period. Its aim has been to provide, through a series of suggestive case studies, alternative models for thinking about comics that open up avenues for future research.
