{"product_id":"art-history-for-comics-ian-horton-9783031073526","title":"Art History for Comics: Past, Present and Potential Futures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book looks at comics through the lens of Art History, examining the past influence of art-historical methodologies on comics scholarship to scope how they can be applied to Comics Studies in the present and future. It unearths how early comics scholars deployed art-historical approaches, including stylistic analysis, iconography, Cultural History and the social history of art, and proposes how such methodologies, updated in light of disciplinary developments within Art History, could be usefully adopted in the study of comics today. Through a series of indicative case studies of British and American comics like \u003ci\u003eEagle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mighty Thor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2000AD\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEscape \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eHeartbreak Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e, it argues that art-historical methods better address overlooked aspects of visual and material form. Bringing Art History back into the interdisciplinary nexus of comics scholarship raises some fundamental questions about the categories, frameworks and values underlying contemporary Comics Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Horton, Maggie Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031073525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031073526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Ian Horton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072370667775,"sku":"9783031073526","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81bf7393-da00-40e9-9cf7-f72fcc030108.jpg?v=1685441557","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-history-for-comics-ian-horton-9783031073526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
