Recent Additions to the Comics Scholarship Annotated Bibliographies
Long Time, No Blog Dep't: Yes, I know; it's been about a month since I posted anything here, but that's about to change. [Insert typical New Year's Resolution here - But I swear, I'm gonna keep to it this time.] In fact, I plan to make better use of this blog as I originally intended it: As a news site not just for miscellaneous comics news, but also for updates to my Comics Scholarship Annotated Bibliographies [ComicsResearch.org]. To that end, here are the books I've recently added to - or edited at - the website. (Note: Click on a book's title to go to the book's Table of Contents at ComicsResearch.org; click "Buy It!" to buy the book from Amazon.com.

'Bout frickin' time.
ComicsResearch.org thanks you for your informative comment.
When are you going to mention the new brouhaha that threatens to tear the comix world apart? As noted in Emma Tinker's review of Daniel Raeburn's Chris Ware, "Although the bibliography is valuable for its inclusion of Ware’s commercial design work, its list of secondary criticism is largely useless from an academic perspective. Where, for example, is Gene Kannenberg’s essay “The Comics of Chris Ware: Text, Image and Visual Narrative Strategies” (2002)?"
Where indeed! The very streets ring with the hollow snorts of derision. Fools!
