Reviews
“Comics Memory succeeds at addressing the role of memory in comics and the role of comics in memory from new vantage points, opening up new avenues for research on the subject. … it also proposes new methodologies to examine memory and memory culture more generally.” (Elizabeth “Biz” Nijdam, Image & Narrative, Vol. 20 (1), 2019)
