[Comicsstudiessociety] Comics Research Bibliography 2020 ebook edition available now

[Mike Rhode]

For many years, John Lent and Mike Rhode have been collecting citations for
comic art, and putting them out in various ways, most recently through a
Facebook page <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.facebook.com/comicsresearchbibliography__;!!KGKeukY!m7gZa2hqxKa07gaV94tYZnO9FtrROCSZ4GnuEkiTtnVQauhxk2bkHj_iDj-ztQHnjT6AfnA1aTfs$ >. For
2020, they have decided to try to begin bi-annual electronic updated
versions.

Over 1200 pages long with more than 1200 new entries, this is a
bibliography of articles and books on all aspects of comic and cartoon art
including comic books, comic strips, cartoons, animation, editorial
cartoons, newly updated as of the end of 2018. The electronic book, a non
DRM PDF, includes tens of thousands of citations with links to information
on comic book movies, the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the Danish Islam cartoon
controversy and other topical matters (but not COVID-19 which will be in
the next edition). Many citations are hot-linked to the web publication for
ease of use.

To order, please Paypal $12 to mrhode at gmail.com and be sure to include your
email, and a link to download the pdf will be emailed to you. For students
or others, email Rhode directly if you need to request a reduced price.

*An explanatory note about the project from the book's introduction - *

The *Comics Research Bibliography* began as an online resource in 1996.
John Bullough, struck by the success of the *Grand Comics Database*
crowd-sourcing project, proposed a companion project of a compilation of
works about comics. Michael Rhode was the only member to join him in
compiling an online *Comics Research Bibliography*. Bullough selected a
citation format and created a web interface hosted on his school’s server.
We both contributed citations, from our local newspapers and collections,
especially from Rhode’s books and magazines. In the early days of the
Internet, we were unaware of John Lent’s similar project which he had
started for an academic publisher. Both online library catalogues and
booksellers have made it less necessary to have an author’s books listed,
but it seemed silly to have reviews of the books and not the citation for
the book itself, so collections of comics were added fairly early in the
project. Since updates to the online version have stopped, Rhode has
decided to produce a semi-annual print and electronic version to fill the
gap. He and Lent began working together on the *International Journal of
Comic Art *over a decade ago, and at the conclusion of Lent’s publishing
contract, began sharing bibliographic data. Three previous print editions
appeared as Volume 11, Number 3 of *International Journal of Comic Art*
(626 pages), *Comics Research Bibliography, 2012* (two volumes, 832 pp.)
and *CRB, 2018 *(two volumes, 1253 pp.). This bibliography is a continual
work in progress – the authors literally have thousands of additional
citations waiting to be formatted and included. Many new articles have
appeared due to the growing acceptance of comic art as a subject of
interest at the same time the Internet has become a mass publishing media.
As the years passed, and the Internet expanded, online citations grew far
more rapidly than print ones. We are trying to be a quality filter by only
grabbing substantive articles, or interviews off the web. If one types
‘Fantagraphics’ into Google’s search engine, one million results are
returned, but if you look at the Fantagraphics entry here, hopefully we
will have some substantive pieces on the company that will be useful for
research. A word of caution – this bibliography is best used in conjunction
with Lent’s 10-volume set of Comic Art Bibliography, Rhode & Bullough’s
online Comics Research Bibliography at

been added here yet), Joachim Trinkwitz’s Bonn Online Bibliography of
Comics Research at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.bobc.uni-bonn.de/__;!!KGKeukY!m7gZa2hqxKa07gaV94tYZnO9FtrROCSZ4GnuEkiTtnVQauhxk2bkHj_iDj-ztQHnjT6Afj1DJopr$  , and Randy Scott’s Index

is neither feasible nor possible to duplicate efforts, and it would not be
desirable either, as we all work together and have helped each other.
