Recent Comics Journal: European Comic Art

European Comic Art from Liverpool University Press is now into its third year of publication. Here are the details about the journal from its website. I will post the contents separately.


European Comic Art
ISSN 1754-3797

Synopsis
European Comic Art is the first English-language scholarly publication devoted to the study of European-language graphic novels, comic strips, comic books and caricature. Published in association with the American Bande Dessinée Society and the International Bande Dessinée Society, European Comic Art builds on existing scholarship in French-language comic art and is able to draw on the scholarly activities undertaken by both organisations. However, our editorial board and consultative committee bring expertise on a wider European area of comic art production and the journal will emphasise coverage of work from across Europe, including Eastern Europe.

Published twice a year, European Comic Art is available in both print and online form and serves as a forum where different theoretical and critical approaches, as well as national comics traditions, can meet.

We would particularly welcome articles in these areas:

The current 'manga-isation' of the European comics scene by Asian comics
Mutual influences of French and American comics
Feminist comic art and women cartoonists
Comics without words
Hergé and the clear-line school of cartooning
Cartoonist collectives and independent publishers since 1990
Genre and the Industry
Comics and digital media
The cartoonist as reporter
Comics in their historical context
Contributions should be original and should not have been previously published in any form, including all forms of electronic publication. Contributors are required to assign copyright to Liverpool University Press, and not to publish accepted articles or book reviews on web pages before they appear in European Comic Art.

European Comic Art is hosted online by Metapress and is accessible at http://liverpool.metapress.com/content/121625/. Online access is free to existing subscribers.
