"Studies in Comics": A New Journal
Studies in Comics is a new Journal from Intellect, co-edited by Chris Murray. It aims to describe the nature of comics, to identify the medium as a distinct art form, and to address the medium's formal properties.
The emerging field of comics studies is a model for interdisciplinary research and in this spirit this journal welcomes all approaches. Peer-reviewed and international in scope Studies in Comics provides an inclusive space in which researchers from all backgrounds can present new thinking on comics to a global audience.
The journal will promote the close analysis of texts using a variety of different methodologies. Its specific goal, however, is to expand the relationship between comics and theory and to articulate a "theory of comics". The journal also includes reviews of new comics, criticism, and exhibitions, and will offer space for cutting-edge and emergent creative work.
The first issue is available for free on the Intellect website.
