Here's what reviewers are saying about The Power of Comics: |
|
"As a textbook, it succeeds in content, scope, and execution. The chapters are well laid out, have thoughtful
questions at their ends, and several chapters end with very practical examples of analysis that serve as models for students.
Chapters also reference a broad range of experts . . . which further validates breadth and depth of this growing scholarship.
. . . Overall
. . . the book—including the theory chapters—is reasonably good for a 'first textbook on comics,'
and I would imagine it will fast become a standard text for those sorts of classes.”

"Their chapter topics,
overall approach, and extensive use of scholarship and academic jargon broken down into layman’s terms really do allow
for neophyte and fanboy alike to fully understand the 'power of comics.' Indeed, instructors looking to venture into
the world of comics or think about pedagogical approaches to using comics in any type of classroom would do well to make personal
use of this book."

"The Power of Comics represents a major step forward in popular-culture scholarship
. . . it's a splendid, wonderfully structured, intelligently argued, absolutely essential work."
