About This Book
Dr Bart Beaty’s seminal work on European Comix in the 90s. The book itself is an academic text, but there are several pages of comics interspersed with the text. This translation is a translation of those disparate pages of comics. Each page through the book is from a different book, and most by different authors, so I’m not listing each author individually, although they are referenced in the translation text.
