{"product_id":"comics-and-pop-culture-barry-keith-grant-9781477319383","title":"Comics and Pop Culture: Adaptation from Panel to Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is hard to discuss the current film industry without acknowledging the impact of comic book adaptations, especially considering the blockbuster success of recent superhero movies. Yet transmedial adaptations are part of an evolution that can be traced to the turn of the last century, when comic strips such as \"Little Nemo in Slumberland\" and \"Felix the Cat\" were animated for the silver screen. Representing diverse academic fields, including technoculture, film studies, theater, feminist studies, popular culture, and queer studies, \u003ci\u003eComics and Pop Culture\u003c\/i\u003e presents more than a dozen perspectives on this rich history and the effects of such adaptations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining current debates and the questions raised by comics adaptations, including those around authorship, style, and textual fidelity, the contributors consider the topic from an array of approaches that take into account representations of sexuality, gender, and race as well as concepts of world-building and cultural appropriation in comics from \u003ci\u003eModesty Blaise\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eBlack Panther\u003c\/i\u003e. The result is a fascinating re-imagination of the texts that continue to push the boundaries of panel, frame, and popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Keith Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477319387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477319383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Barry Keith Grant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986871648511,"sku":"9781477319383","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38a5b2c7-ba63-4c32-8374-17adeed33f40.jpg?v=1683285659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comics-and-pop-culture-barry-keith-grant-9781477319383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
