Lent has brought comics studies into the mainstream and gone worldwide. This is an amazing feat, covering so many different cultural contexts on various continents. A particularly valuable contribution has been his journal, <i>International Journal of Comic Art</i>, a doughty annual which he founded in 1999, which has scoured the world, and which he puts together more or less solo. His knowledge of Asian comics, much of it gathered during tireless travel to China and elsewhere, is unparalleled. David Kunzle, author of numerous books on comics history, including <i>Rodolphe Topffer: The Complete Comic Strips</i>, <i>Father of the Comic Strip: Rodolphe Topffer</i>, and <i>Gustave Dore: Twelve Comic Strips</i> (all published by University Press of Mississippi)</p>
