Description:
This book considers the ways in which violence and its representations may be enabled or restricted by the contexts in which they take place. It provides insights into violence in comics in the context of war and peace; ethnic, religious and identity-based violence; as well as legal and historical contexts of violence.
Review Quotes:
'This book brings new and wide-ranging perspectives from outstanding scholars to an area of comics that critical discourse has tended to shy away from: violence, whether flamboyantly exaggerated, or painfully recovered and made visible.' -Ann Miller, University Fellow, University of Leicester, UK
