Introduction: Key Terms in Comics Studies
Abstract
Over the last 25 years, the field of comics studies has become firmly established in Anglophone academia. The number of comics-specific book series, journals, and conferences has steadily increased, and the field continues to gain ground in universities through comics courses and degree programmes at the bachelors and masters levels. While this bodes well for the future of the field, comics scholars as of yet do not have a set disciplinary home. Instead, they are housed in a wide range of departments including, but not limited to, media studies, literature, communication, history, and art and design.
