The book does not only disclose a wide range of a virtually “unknown” production (and why not confess that I felt ashamed of my own ignorance as a European scholar after reading Comics of the New Europe?), it also offers a new insight of the very meaning of making and reading comics in cultural, economic, political and ideological contexts that are sometimes very different from what we take for granted. Jan Baetens, IMAGE [&] NARRATIVE, Vol. 22, No.1 (2021) Altogether, this volume represents a very welcome and stimulating introduction to comics production in a region that has been overlooked by critics. [...] this collection does represent an intriguing and novel exploration of new areas of study for comics scholarship. The introduction makes clear that the editors “consider this book an open invitation for further research” (13). It can only be hoped that their call will find receptive ears, and that some at least of the obviously worthwhile works they discuss will also find suitable publishers in the “old” Europe or North America.Vittorio Frigerio, Paradoxa, No. 32, 2021 "Altogether, this volume represents a very welcome and stimulating introduction to comics production in a region that has been overlooked by critics.
