Scope

This journal’s purpose is to make original and specialised media-specific contributions to the field of comics scholarship and to advance the appreciation of graphic narrative and comic art. Our focus is inspired by, but not limited to, the following questions: How are form and format interconnected in comics? What is the meaning of “content” in comics? How are page sizes related to what is contained in them? What is the role of the characteristics of panel layouts and/or page sizes and formats in specific comics texts? How do different technologies affect the processes of creating and reading a comics page? How do different panel arrangements work? What is the media-specificity of a comics page? What are some of the different possible ways of reading comics pages? What other cultural practices or artistic forms or phenomena intersect with comics and could benefit from comics-focused critical approaches? What comics, aspects of comics, disciplines and methodologies are underrepresented in current comics studies? What are the characteristics of the “user experience” in comics?
