| Abstract |
|
This three-volume set contains 215 essays covering graphic novels and core comics series, focusing on the independents and underground genre, that form today’s “canon” for academic coursework and library collections. Scope & Coverage The second title in this series, Critical Survey of Graphic Novels: Independents & Underground Classics, provides in-depth insight for over 215 of the most popular and studied graphic novels. Researchers will be familiar with the characters and stories included in this collection, yet will gain a deeper understanding, as the literary nature of the stories is presented in critical format by leading writers in the field. Each essay will look beyond the “pop culture” aspects of the medium to show the wide range of literary themes and artistic styles that are used to convey beliefs and conflicts that are as old as the stories told in ancient civilization. Today’s graphic novels expose the vulnerabilities and character flaws that previous comic book stories glossed over or never covered. Organization & Format The essays are arranged alphabetically, and each essay is approximately 3 to 4 pages long. Essays begin with full ready reference top matter, including the title or subtitle, the primary author or authors, the illustrators who contributed to the work, the first serial and book publication, the publisher, the number of pages, the ISBN, the genre and/or subgenre and the work’s intended age group. Subsequent subsections include:
Special Features Several helpful finding aids are located at the end of Volume two.

Four complete indexes round out the set: Works by Publication Date, Works by Publisher, Works by Author/Artist, and a Subject Index.
