Until now, scholars in literary and cultural studies have barely touched upon the multiple points of engagement between comics and literature. Drawing on a number of specific examples, the contributors to this volume illustrate the diversity of issues that arise in looking at the relationship between comics and literature. The book includes a consideration of the works of Alberto Breccia, Dino Buzzati, Dante, Alan Moore, Reinhard Kleist, Marcel Proust, and Joann Sfar.
