The Language of Comics:
• includes a large number of real comics, from individual frames to full comic stripes;
• sets the analysis of comics within their historical context;
• explores various aspects of comics relevant to other types of text; the interaction between the verbal and the visual, the cohesive structure of text, the ways speech and thought are reported, and points-of-view shifts in narrative;
• makes the case for comics as multi-modal texts and considers future developments in the genre;
• is user-friendly and accessible, and provides a full glossary.
