Horror and Comics

Horror and Comics investigates the evolution of these two forms by analysing a range of approaches and traditions. International contributors explore how multiple aspects of comics have fed into the depiction and development of<br/>horror across many subgenres. Horror has informed the development of comics across multiple periods, places and genres – from broadsheets to newspaper strips, weeklies and contemporary graphic novels – in reciprocal promptings<br/>to innovate both form and content. This volume re-examines and re-energises established concepts, from abjection to otherness to closure, and applies them to diverse texts, contexts, authors and audiences.
