It unearths how early comics scholars deployed art-historical approaches, including stylistic analysis, iconography, Cultural History and the social history of art, and proposes how such methodologies, updated in light of disciplinary developments within Art History, could be usefully adopted in the study of comics today. Through a series of indicative case studies of British and American comics like \u003ci\u003eEagle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mighty Thor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2000AD\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEscape \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eHeartbreak Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e, it argues that art-historical methods better address overlooked aspects of visual and material form. Bringing Art History back into the interdisciplinary nexus of comics scholarship raises some fundamental questions about the categories, frameworks and values underlying contemporary Comics Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-09-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031073557\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-07353-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 241\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448566169740,"sku":"9783031073557","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031073557.jpg?v=1775921626","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031073557","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
