  • Mass communication scholar Lent offers an unannotated bibliography of books and articles from around the world about cartoonists, works, and characters in comic books and comic strips in the US; a companion volume covers works on the comic books and comic strips themselves within the same framework. The first section cites cartoonists alphabetically within subsections on comic books and comic strips. The second section treats characters and titles similarly.

Description: This penultimate work in John Lent's series of bibliographies on comic art gathers together an astounding array of citations on American cartoonists and their work. Author John Lent has used all manner of methods to gather the citations, searching library and online databases, contacting scholars and other professionals, attending conferences and festivals, and scanning hundreds of periodicals. He has gone to great length to categorize the citations in an easy-to-use, scholarly fashion, and in the process, has helped to establish the field of comic art as an important part of social science and humanities research.

The ten volumes in this series, covering all regions of the world, constitute the largest printed bibliography of comic art in the world, and serve as the beacon guiding the burgeoning fields of animation, comics, and cartooning. They are the definitive works on comic art research, and are exhaustive in their inclusiveness, covering all types of publications (academic, trade, popular, fan, etc.) from all over the world. Also included in these books are citations to systematically-researched academic exercises, as well as more ephemeral sources such as fanzines, press articles, and fugitive materials (conference papers, unpublished documents, etc.), attesting to Lent's belief that all pieces of information are vital in a new field of study such as comic art.
About the Author: JOHN A. LENT has spearheaded comic art scholarship worldwide by founding and chairing study divisions, lecturing all over the world, and establishing the bibliographic base for comic art with his compilation of 11 massive bibliographies. He has held positions as Rogers Distinguished Professor at the University of Western Ontario, and Visiting Professor at Shanghai University. He also serves as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Comic Art. He is the author or sole editor of over 65 books.
