Reviews
Benjamin Fraser has written a seminal book. Until now we did not have a study covering the field of comics and the city. Fraser's book is now offering a comprehensive overview to the relations between the city and the medium of comics, and it also provides deep readings and analyses of selected works. Whatever research will follow approaching the subject of comics and the city, it will all stem from Fraser's book., Benjamin Fraser has gifted us a path-breaking interdisciplinary study of the way that comics enable us to think through the varied experiences of the urban environment. A truly global study, Fraser transports us from the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona to the streets of São Paolo, from the skylines of New York to the types of fictional cityscapes that only comics can produce. This wide-ranging and deep-diving volume promises to open comics studies to entirely new ways of thinking., This is a wonderful book to explore how cities are represented in comics. A superb prompt to deeply reflect on the graphic textures of urbanism, urban life, and the material and iconic representation of global cities. A truly delightful work that inspires one to keep loving comics and think about them with spatial passion and the graphic fascination of the urban heart.

Synopsis
More and more people are noticing links between urban geography and the spaces within the layout of panels on the comics page. Benjamin Fraser explores the representation of the city in a range of comics from across the globe. Comics address the city as an idea, a historical fact, a social construction, a material-built environment, a shared space forged from the collective imagination, or as a social arena navigated according to personal desire. Accordingly, Fraser brings insights from urban theory to bear on specific comics. The works selected comprise a variety of international, alternative, and independent small-press comics artists, from engravings and early comics to single-panel work, graphic novels, manga, and trading cards, by artists such as Will Eisner, Tsutomu Nihei, Hariton Pushwagner, Julie Doucet, Frans Masereel, and Chris Ware. In the first monograph on this Subject, Fraser touches on many themes of modern urban life: activism, alienation, consumerism, fl'nerie , gentrification, the mystery story, science fiction, sexual orientation, and working-class labor. He leads readers to images of such cities as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, London, Lyon, Madrid, Montevideo, Montreal, New York, Oslo, Paris, São Paolo, and Tokyo. Through close readings, each chapter introduces readers to specific comics artists and works and investigates a range of topics related to the medium's spatial form, stylistic variation, and cultural prominence. Mainly, Fraser mixes interest in urbanism and architecture with the creative strategies that comics artists employ to bring their urban images to life., CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title for 2020 More and more people are noticing links between urban geography and the spaces within the layout of panels on the comics page.

- e***v (125)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoOverall, it went well. Good communication. I wanted the book to be shipped in a box, because the value and scarcity of the volume I purchased deserved it, however, the company is too large and I was informed the book would be shipped in a plastic mailer. Somehow it didn’t arrive very damaged, a little bump, but for the price I can’t complain. Over all I am satisfied, but if you’re a book collector, as I am, you may want to find another seller.Aurora: The Dayspring, or Dawning of the Day in the East, Boehme, Jacob, 9781558 (N° 236039083546)
- s***a (765)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThis company has been, in my experience, a mixed bag. This title was NOT worth the price because it came with highlighting, ink underlineing & writing in the margins...not the quality that they advertised. I have on other occasions gotten books in great condition, however, that were listed in less than the condition advertised so it goes both ways...but I'd much prefer a company that delivers exactly what they advertise. I guess good help is hard to find. The book was well packaged & came fast.

Price I paid also was fair and reasonable so I could purchase. The appearance of the book showed no indication of tear or damage and book was wrapped very good and tight. I recommend this seller for his best customer service!The Book of the Revelation: A Commentary Based on a Study of Twenty-Three Psychi (N° 335856777005)
