[Comicsstudiessociety] Query: Scholarship on Alberto Breccia

[Charles Hatfield]

Here as promised are the combined results of keyword searches I did today
for "Breccia" in both the MLA International Bibliography and the Bonn
Online Bibliography of Comics Research (https://www.bobc.uni-bonn.de/).
Feel free to jettison this message if you don't have a research interest in
Alberto Breccia!

I have tried to place all entries in current MLA style. I took the liberty
of cutting one or two entries that seemed to be duplicates, or
untrustworthy. I have also added here one online journal article I found on
my own (Palacios). I have not listed here the several recent books
mentioned in my last post, nor the results of my still-ongoing searches via
the online Comics Research Bibliography (
http://homepages.rpi.edu/~bulloj/comxbib.html) and the various
bibliographies compiled by John Lent and/or Mike Rhode.
