'The Cambridge History of the Graphic Novel is an ambitious and wideranging collection ? The essays in this volume are individually excellent, and the narrative that emerges across the chronological sections proves rewarding for readers prepared to tackle this behemoth from cover to cover ? In sum, this is an accessible and energetic volume that will primarily be of interest to scholars and students working in American studies, comics studies, literary studies, and related fields.'
