Reviews
Eszter Szep's book provides an analysis of the body that is currently undiscussed in the field, not only filling a gap in existing scholarship but also developing a new lens for analysis that highlights the potential for further research and study. --Harriet Earle, comics scholar and lecturer A deft and thought-provoking contribution to the theoretical literatures on comics, mediated trauma, and embodied communication. --CHOICE The exuberance of the prose and lovely phrasing beautifully offset the topic, which is exceptionally well-researched as well as being very clearly elaborated. The book was a pleasure to read and has the potential to reshape scholarly engagements with the material and affective dimensions of comics reading processes. --Kate Polak, author of Ethics in the Gutter: Empathy and Historical Fiction in Comics (OSU Press, 2017)

""Eszter Szép's book provides an analysis of the body that is currently undiscussed in the field, not only filling a gap in existing scholarship but also developing a new lens for analysis that highlights the potential for further research and study."" --Harriet Earle ""Ambitious, provocative, and ground-breaking ... Comics and the Body achieves a great deal in addressing some of the gaps left in comics theory ... I suspect that its implications will be felt and enacted through embodied reading and drawing, as well as by those that try to understand the relationship between such bodies, for a long time to come."" --Gareth Brookes, ImageTexT ""The exuberance of the prose and lovely phrasing beautifully offset the topic, which is exceptionally well-researched as well as being very clearly elaborated.
