Book Synopsis

This volume explores how horror comic books have negotiated with the social and cultural anxieties framing a specific era and geographical space.

Paying attention to academic gaps in comicsâ scholarship, these chapters engage with the study of comics from varying interdisciplinary perspectives, such as Marxism; posthumanism; and theories of adaptation, sociology, existentialism, and psychology. Without neglecting the classical era, the book presents case studies ranging from the mainstream comics to the independents, simultaneously offering new critical insights on zones of vacancy within the study of horror comic books while examining a global selection of horror comics from countries such as India (City of Sorrows), France (ZombillÃnium), Spain (Creepy), Italy (Dylan Dog), and Japan (Tanabe Gouâs Manga Adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft), as well as the United States.
