Comics Beyond Text and Image: On the Substance of Visual Narration

This book conceptualises comics as ’bodies’, exploring the substance and the many movements and expressions of comics first and foremost in terms of corporeality. It will appeal to students and scholars of comics studies, as well as to those thinking about visual narrative more broadly, and to scholars of Spinoza and Deleuze.
