Description: Through close readings of comics from a range of genres, this book uses the narratological concept of focalization to demonstrate how comics draw readers into characters' experiences.
Review Quotes: "Silke Horstkotte and Nancy Pedri's Experiencing Visual Storyworlds: Focalization in Comics will ... help introduce key terms from contemporary narratology, including those around focalization, and hopefully seed them throughout comics studies. The complex web of ideas the book attempts to present allows for a wealth of close readings, some of which future scholars will certainly return to, extend, and counter." --Shawn Gilmore, ImageTexT
