Comics Studies Here and Now marks the arrival of comics studies scholarship that no longer feels the need to justify itself within or against other fields of study. The essays herein move us forward, some in their re-diggings into comics history and others by analyzing comics—and all its transmedial and fan-fictional offshoots—on its own terms. Comics Studies stakes the flag of our arrival—the arrival of comics studies as a full-fledged discipline that today and tomorrow excavates, examines, discusses, and analyzes all aspects that make up the resplendent planetary republic of comics. This collection of scholarly essays is a testament to the fact that comic book studies have come into their own as an academic discipline; simply and powerfully moving comic studies forward with their critical excavations and theoretical formulas based on the common sense understanding that comics add to the world as unique, transformative cultural phenomena.

Stephen Tropiano offers readers insightful and accessible analysis of films that were branded “controversial” at the time of their release due to explicit language, nudity, graphic sex, violence, and their treatment of “adult” subject matter and themes.

Antisemitic caricatures had existed in Polish society since at least the mid-nineteenth century. But never had the devastating impacts of this imagery been fully realized or so blatantly apparent than on the eve of the Second World War. In Cartoons and Antisemitism: Visual Politics of Interwar Poland, scholar Ewa Stańczyk explores how illustrators conceived of Jewish people in satirical drawing and reflected on the burning political questions of the day. Incorporating hundreds of cartoons, satirical texts, and newspaper articles from the 1930s, Stańczyk investigates how a visual culture that was essentially hostile to Jews penetrated deep and wide into Polish print media. In her sensitive analysis of these sources, the first of this kind in English, the author examines how major satirical magazines intervened in the ongoing events and contributed to the racialized political climate of the time. Paying close attention to the antisemitic tropes that were both local and global, Stańczyk reflects on the role of pictorial humor in the transmission of visual antisemitism across historical and geographical borders. As she discusses the communities of artists, publishers, and political commentators who made up the visual culture of the day, Stańczyk tells a captivating story of people who served the antisemitic cause, and those who chose to oppose it.

ISBN:

Once upon a time, I believed that rules were the start and end of my life. They defined me instead of the other way around. I’ll admit impulsiveness is a bit out of character for me. I always do the expected, which includes sticking to the rules, no exceptions, nor shortcuts. That was before I met him, Theo Jameson. A man who straddled the rules, never breaking or keeping them. Despite this, Theo is a good man, with a heart the size of the universe. God, how I loved him. Even with all of my quirks, he’d found a way around them, and the cavernous abyss of my heart. But this is me, we’re talking about, Nairobi Sinclair, a girl who runs away from relationships. Not because I don’t believe in them, but because they just never work out for me. Once you’ve been burned, it ruins it for all men. Theo is different, he’s changed me in ways I never dreamed possible or in my foreseeable future. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. When Theo’s not near me, I miss him and reach for him when I’m asleep. Smile when I hear his voice, or when he leaves me a message. It’s real, and I realized it weeks ago. It scared me to admit it before because of what I went through with Brax. The bastard. But now I have a brand-new beginning, and for the first time in my life, I’m breaking all the rules.
