Exeter New Approaches to Comics Studies: Theory and Practice champions innovative scholarship in interdisciplinary comics studies that bridges the gap between critical analysis and creative production. Books in this series include a comics or sequential graphic element, therefore providing a unique platform for creative-critical work, where the creation of comics itself is a sophisticated mode of research and knowledge production. This series demonstrates the medium’s unique affordances to generate new insights, explore complex theoretical frameworks and engage with contemporary social and cultural issues, and fosters dialogue between scholars, creators and enthusiasts.

We welcome book-length projects that experiment with form, push the boundaries of comics scholarship and demonstrate the transformative potential of comics for understanding society. We especially encourage projects that explore the intersections of comics with other fields, including but not limited to media studies, cultural studies, art history and critical theory.
