:: SCAN | journal of media arts culture ::

Comic books have been often treated derisively as a hybrid of art and literature, but ultimately a product of low culture.

This special issue of Scan continues Reading Between the Panels (Part I) and contributes to existing academic studies on the comic book and graphic novel format.
