Art Spiegelman. Alan Moore. Osamu Tezuka. Neil Gaiman. Names such as these have become synonymous with the medium of comics. Meanwhile, the large numbers of people without whose collective action no comic book would ever exist in the first place are routinely overlooked. Cultures of Comics Work unveils this hidden, global industrial labor of writers, illustrators, graphic designers, letterers, editors, printers, typesetters, publicists, publishers, distributors, translators, retailers, and countless others both directly and indirectly involved in the creative production of what is commonly thought of as the comic book. Drawing upon diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives, an international and interdisciplinary cohort of cutting-edge researchers and practitioners intervenes in debates about cultural work and paves innovative directions for comics scholarship. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels,$x2634-6389 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCulture 606 $aLiterature 606 $aCommunication 606 $aArts 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aRegional Cultural Studies 606 $aLiterature 606 $aMedia and Communication 606 $aArts 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aFine Art 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aRegional Cultural Studies. 615 24$aLiterature. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aArts. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aFine Art. 676 $a306.091 702 $aBrienza$b Casey$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJohnston$b Paddy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154817803321 996 $aCultures of Comics Work$92526103 997 $aUNINA
