These popular comics, and many others, use classical sources, narrative patterns, and references to enrich their imaginative worlds and deepen the stories they present. This volume explores that rich interaction. \u003cem\u003eSon of Classics and Comics\u003c\/em\u003e presents thirteen original studies of representations of the ancient world in the medium of comics. Building on the foundation established by their groundbreaking\u003cem\u003e Classics and Comics\u003c\/em\u003e (2011), George Kovacs and C. W. Marshall have gathered a wide range of essays with a new, global perspective. Chapters are helpfully grouped to facilitate classroom use, with sections on receptions of Homer, on manga, on Asterix, and on the sense of a \"classic\" in the modern world. All Greek and Latin passages are translated. Lavishly illustrated, the volume significantly widens the range of available studies on the reception of the Greek and Roman worlds in comics, and deepens our understanding of comics as a literary medium. \u003cem\u003eSon of Classics and Comics\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to students and scholars of classical reception as well as comics fans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Kovacs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190268891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190268893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016","brand":"George Kovacs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717131137279,"sku":"9780190268893","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_074d7d3a-21a2-417d-bbbd-55d2cfebe9e8.jpg?v=1705687083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/son-of-classics-and-comics-george-kovacs-9780190268893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
