By placing comics in a lively dialogue with contemporary narrative theory The Narratology of Comic Art builds a systematic theory of narrative comics going beyond the typical focus on the Anglophone tradition. This involves not just the exploration of those properties in comics that can be meaningfully investigated with existing narrative theory but an interpretive study of the potential in narratological concepts and analytical procedures that has hitherto been overlooked. This research monograph is then not an application of narratology in the medium and art of comics but a revision of narratological concepts and approaches through the study of narrative comics. Thus while narratology is brought to bear on comics equally comics are brought to bear on narratology. . Language: English
