| Abstract: | This article provides some practical guidance on how to get started in comics studies. The article supplies a quick history of print comics, addresses key definitions and debates, and provides a variety of references for beginners to comics studies. The author's intention is not to limit what comics studies are or can be, but rather to reflect on a handful of the texts and ideas that have impacted him and pushed him to expand his understanding. Though this is written for Hispania's special issue on Iberian comics, and thus with occasional references to Iberian and Latin American scholarship, the reader will note an emphasis on comics as a form that is deeply global and transnational. Rather than highlight specific artists, the author covers the scholarly landscape and directs readers to a few key ideas and texts. |
