The comic-book scholar

Someone at the University Press of Mississippi must really like comic books. I got a mailing from the company yesterday with a listing of its books about comics. Wow, there's enough to satisfy any comics scholar. There's "Alternative Comics: An Emerging Literature." "The Art of the Comic Book." "Seal of Approval: The History of the Comics Code." "Super Heroes: A Modern Mythology." "Comic Book Culture: Fanboys and True Believers." And much more. To see for yourself, go to www.upress.state.ms.us.
