Reviews

A useful work for those interested in horror comics, especially in conjunction with his [Wandtke] 2015 volume on crime comics, and certainly if the reader is coming to the topic afresh. The book is also particularly useful for its focus on more contemporary iterations of horror comics. STUDIES IN COMICS
