Omschrijving
This engaging collection explores the multi-media intersections of comics, film, television, and popular culture over the last century, ranging from Felix the Cat to Black Panther.
"This is an indispensable contribution to scholarship on comic books, film, and the synergetic nature of adaptation."
"A rich group of essays that represent diverse academic fields, including technoculture, film studies, theater, feminist studies, popular culture, and queer studies."
"[Comics and Pop Culture’s] 19 contributors deftly sidestep the ‘Are superhero movies cinema?’ debate – which usually leads to pointless semantic hair-splitting – and instead focus on diverse examples (from American Splendor, to Modesty Blaise and Scott Pilgrim) to illustrate the two mediums’ complex intersections."
"Grant and Henderson have collected a fascinating and novel group of essays that challenge conventional notions of adaptation and raise interesting questions for the future of adaptation studies...The variety of subject matter makes this a wonderful read for those interested in comics, film, pop culture, or adaptation theory."
"Comics and Pop Culture is an unapologetic celebration of the historical, cultural, and processual affect of comics and film by academics who are fans of the subjects of which they write…it provides a wonderful start to a conversation that other scholars may pick up to investigate in other ways. In that aspect, it proves itself to be a valuable resource for the ongoing scholarship around the things we love to study: comics, film, and pop culture."
