The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the graphic novel, comic strip and comic book, with the emphasis on comics in their cultural, institutional and creative contexts. Its scope is international, covering not only English language comics but also worldwide comic culture. The journal reflects interdisciplinary research in comics and aims to establish a dialogue between academics, historians, theoreticians and practitioners of comics. It therefore examines the production and consumption of comics within the contexts of culture: art, cinema, television and new media technologies. The journal will include all forms of 'sequential imagery' including precursors of the comic but the main emphasis will be on twentieth and twenty-first century examples, reflecting the increasing interest in the modern forms of the comic, its production and cultural consumption. Support for the Journal of Graphic Novels and ComicsThe Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics has come along at just the right time. The rapid growth in comics study in the academy, both within and across a number of disciplines, has revealed the increasing need of a peer-reviewed journal that is both interdisciplinary and that looks at comics in all its manifestations. Such a journal would serve as both a central gathering point for interesting scholarship, and as a legitimating force for the new scholars staking out this territory. The journal is well poised to address comics with the dynamism that the medium demands as well as the rigour which has been sometimes lacking. Scott Bukatman, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, Stanford University, USA The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a new and greatly needed kid on the academic block that fills a gap in the expanding field of Comics Studies. It's interdisciplinary focus on one of the most enduring art forms of the last century promises to encourage the publication of exciting, new research into the study of comics and the media they impact upon.Angela Ndalianis, Board of Directors, Institute for Comics Studies, Melbourne University The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics represents the next, needed stage in the development of comics studies as a discipline with its own academic institutions. The journal recognizes the inherently interdisciplinary nature of comics and points to the growing conversation taking place between scholars and professionals. To advance in the academy, comics scholars need the validation of peer review, and comics as a medium needs additional outlets for serious analysis and discussion. JGNC is a welcome addition to and recognition of the growing field of comics studies and the importance of the comics medium in the twenty-first century.Peter Coogan, Director of the Institute for Comics Studies, Washington University in St. Louis, USA DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
