Online Book about Comics

Forwarded Message:

Greeting friends,

A few weeks ago, my good friend Michelle Ann Abate (of the Ohio State University) and I finished editing something we're very proud of.

In connection with the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum's new exhibit on children's comics, we offer you seven original essays on children's comics to act as the exhibit's  catalog and companion.

The electronic book contains essays on the emergence of children's comics in the US, Calvin and Hobbes, orphanhood and superheroes, LumberjanesBone, the crossover between the editorial page and the funny pages, and Maus as a work suitable for high school students.

The essays are peer-reviewed, but we made a point of guiding the authors toward prose that would be accessible to newcomers to the field.  We hope that they'll be useful to you in your own research and teaching.

Here's a link to the host page, where you can download the pdf for free:

And, naturally, please feel free to spread the word.

Take care,
Joe (for Michelle)
