Through the end of August, Routledge (a Taylor & Francis Group) is offering free access to a number of its works across all of Comics Studies. There is no apparent limit to the number of titles accessed for this “Comic Book and Graphic Novel – Free Access” promotion nor any requirement for creating a login or joining a membership.
Of particular interest to religion and comics scholars might be following:
- A Graphic Self: Comics as autobiography in Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis (Prose Studies) by Rocío G. Davis
- After Maus – Graphic novels confront the Jewish experience (Jewish Quarterly) by Paul Gravett
- Framing human rights: comics form and the politics of recognition in Joe Sacco’s Footnotes in Gaza (Textual Practice) by Rebecca Scherr
- Intermedial fictions of the “new” metropolis: Calcutta, Delhi and Cairo in the graphic novels of Sarnath Banerjee and G. Willow Wilson (Journal of Postcolonial Writing) by Cecile Sandten
- Out of the Family: Generations of Women in Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis (Life Writing) by Nancy K. Miller
