Comics Scholarship Bibliography
What follows is a list of English-language comics scholarship published roughly from July-December 2018. Some items left off of our previous bibliography (covering January 2017 through June 2018) also appear here. The next installment, covering all of 2019 will be released in January 2020. Comics studies is a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field, and this resource is intended to highlight the recent work in comics studies produced by scholars working in diverse departments, fields, and institutions. The bibliography is organized in two sections: one for monographs and edited collections, and another for peer-reviewed journal articles and essays from scholarly anthologies not primarily devoted to comics.
We compiled these citations by examining several comics-focused academic book publishers and journals and by issuing a call through various online platforms for comics scholars to submit citations. Because we relied heavily on self-reporting it is not comprehensive. Rather, it provides an overview of current work in the field and a place for scholars to search for connections, parallels, and affinities to their own work. For scholars looking to expand their inquiries with a searchable database focused on comics, the Bonn Online Bibliography of Comics Research is an eminently useful resource, and scholars may wish to consult the MLA International Bibliography, Art Full Text, and other such more general databases.
If your work was left out of this edition of the list, please submit a citation to [email protected] in the most recent MLA format and we will include it in the next update.
