April Updates

Today we climb around the library shelves, in this list of the latest new or significantly revised entries to ComicsResearch.org. Several older and heretofore-overlooked books, as well as more recent fare, now have detailed entries.

Note also that we've done quite a bit of updating on our Academic Resources page, particularly with regard to comics research collections in libraries from around the world.

And away we go...!
