[Comicsstudiessociety] Year’s Work Books List (again)

[Orion]

Hi, everyone.

As many of you know, Anna Peppard and I write the comics section of Oxford
UP’s *Year**’**s **Work** in English Studies*, which means we compile a
list of all books on comics scholarship in English every year.

We already have (heavens help us) *eighty-six* titles (a number that will
come down somewhat as we go through them), and I am posting our list, here,
just in case you notice anything that’s missing. Please do  not hesitate to
send us books that you have written, edited, etc! We want those very much.

The section includes anything in English that would be of interest to comic
scholars who work primarily in English, and we include as much
global/international/transnational material as we are able to,
logistically. It’s a wide net, is my point.

Here’s the list. Let me know if you can see anything to add.
