Welcome to another visit to my modest library collection of comics and books about comics related to my research, study and enjoyment of the comics medium. In this series of posts I focus on a small section of books, comics or graphic novels on my shelves, select one or two or three or more, sometimes even the entire grouping, from that section and take a closer look at some of them. This time I shall be pushing that total to ten as every book in the photo will get a mention! It’s a bumper post and, as I stated in previous posts on this topic, the books are not shelved following normal library rules i.e. detailed categorisation…they are stacked instead more by size…what a surprise!…sorted by size rather than specific subject…however, they essentially all have something to do with the rubrics of comics, being either comics, collections of comics or histories, studies and critiques of comics.
NOTE: THIS PREVIOUS POST IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION AND REDEVELOPMENT IN THE WRITING, DESIGN AND EDITING STAGES.
This notice will be removed on completion of editing.
