Reviews

Kid Comic Strips provides a snapshot of the history of comics, as well as helps today's readers contextualize the growth of Comics Studies from nascent discipline into one of the fastest growing fields in the Humanities. ... The book makes an important contribution to the field of study by providing unique historical contextualization of the lesser-explored world of kid comics. No doubt, readers will revisit Kid Comic Strips time and time again. (Cathy Ryan, Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature, Vol. 42 (1), 2017)
