Reviews
Meyer's exceptional work radically repositions comic strips and makes us see them as a vast enterprise of serial narrative with complex and interlocking features and something far greater than just episodic graphics and texts. --Ian Gordon The author builds on and engages in a thoughtful, critical dialogue with previous scholarship on the Yellow Kid in ways that will make a major contribution to the field of comics studies. --Mark McKinney This book offers new and nuanced readings of R. F. Outcault's famous character. It details how the commercial phenomenon that was the Yellow Kid was vital to the development of comics in the United States. The depth and breadth of scholarship is remarkable. --Lara Saguisag
