Original comics scholarship offering methodologies developed from the histories, artistic traditions, and socio-political contexts of comics and visual cultures from the Global South.Comics, graphic novels and webtoons are exploding in popularity across the Global South and Majority World(s). Because most of the critical and methodological tools in English-language comics scholarship come from the Global North, such approaches are often imperfectly designed to illuminate Global South/Global Majority specificities, innovations, and achievements. Comics and the Global South brings together original comics scholarship that offers methodologies crafted within the histories, artistic traditions, and social and political realities of the comics and visual cultures in and from the Global South. The contributions make a major breakthrough in our ability to understand comics of the Global South on their own terms.

This groundbreaking volume offers a fresh, interdisciplinary exploration of comics from the Global South. Employing innovative theoretical and methodological approaches from Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies, Intermediality, and other fields, Comics and the Global South challenges dominant narratives and expands the scope of Comics Studies beyond traditional Western-centric paradigms. This collection is a must-have for anyone interested in understanding the global power of visual storytelling and the cultural significance of comics beyond Western narratives. – Jasmin Wrobel, Ruhr-Universität Bochum
