October Entries

Here are the ComicsResearch.org book-entries we've added or revised recently. One new resource that we've begun adding to some of these new entries is a link to "Find in a Library with WorldCat." With these links you can find out if any libraries near you have a book in their collections. We'll be adding more of these links during future updates. And now, on with the titles:
