Tab Article

The Journal of Comics and Culture studies the comic and the rapidly evolving medium of the graphic novel and its connection to the wider world of popular culture. Original monographs, research, history, book reviews, and analysis reflect the innovative creative talents in the field, ground-breaking works, and how comics and the graphic novel both reflect and inform American culture.

In the past 40 years, comics have moved from occupying a decidedly lowbrow niche at the margins of pop culture to the center of the popular and critical imagination. Comics—a catch-all term that encompasses monthly comic books, graphic novels, and webcomics—are embedded in, relate to and comment upon other forms of media like film, painting, and the novel.

This volume includes an exclusive interview with the creators of ElfQuest, Richard and Wendy Pini, who share the experiences and inspirations that brought them to create ElfQuest as well as exchange views on the duality of the Western and Eastern influences in the comic. Also featured is “STEM in Silver Age Comic Books: Marvel vs. DC and Chemistry vs. Physics” by Zyg Furmaniuk, which is the first of a two-part essay that explores the theme of science in comics and opens discussions prompting academic critique on the accuracy of chemistry in comics. It is the first volume for Matthew Brake, co-editor with Ioana Atanassova.
