Description: A new history of US comics in the Anthropocene that excavates the interdependence of comics, petrochemicals, and modern energy culture.
Review Quotes: "Combining insights from two of the most rapidly expanding areas of humanities inquiry--energy humanities and comics studies--Petrochemical Fantasies is highly relevant and the first major work in its area. Scholars in both fields will find new and valuable material." --Bart Beaty, author of Unpopular Culture: Transforming the European Comic Book in the 1990s
