IntroductionThis edited book seeks to gather voices in research and
practice who explore the complexities, possibilities, and applications of
comics and graphic novels in the field of education. The chapters highlight
work with young children, early and late adolescents, and adults and
examine comics/graphic novels as unique texts that can be approached
philosophically, cognitively, and with attention to literacy demands and
connections to a range of literature.

ObjectiveThis book will highlight voices from a number of disciplines in
the field of education, showcasing research and practice using both popular
and lesser-known examples of comics across time in terms of publishing
history and across geographic contexts/regions. The objective of the book
is to explore comics from multiple viewpoints and to share the efficacy of
these texts in descriptive, narrative, and empirical ways. The material
focus of comics can be print or digital, magazine format or collected works.

Target AudienceThe book is geared toward students, teachers, and
researchers in undergraduate and graduate contexts. Chapters which showcase
comics as complex texts can be used in literature study, and chapters which
utilize qualitative and quantitative methods can be used as examples in
research. The book is for readers, writers, and those who already
appreciate this medium or who are growing in their knowledge.

adolescents. Comics in the university classroom. Cognitive studies of
comics. Philosophical approaches to comics. Empirical studies of comics.
