Summary
"This book is the follow-up to Thierry Groensteen's groundbreaking The System of Comics in which he set out to investigate how the medium functions, showing the systems that underlie the articulation between panels. In Comics and Narration he develops that analysis further, using examples from a very wide range of comics, including the work of American artists such as Chris Ware and Robert Crumb. He tests out his theoretical framework by bringing it up against cases that challenge it - such as abstract comics, digital comics, and shōjo manga - and offers insightful reflections on these innovations"--Page 4 of cover.
