Sommario/riassunto: | When Art Spiegelman's Maus-a two-part graphic novel about the Holocaust-won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992, comics scholarship grew increasingly popular and notable. The rise of ""serious"" comics has generated growing levels of interest as scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals continue to explore the history, aesthetics, and semiotics of the comics medium.

Arguing Comics: Literary Masters on a Popular Medium brings together nearly two dozen essays by majo |
