Used an article for my final paper in comic book lit. I got an A. It served its purpose.

A series of essays on various aspects of comics, from Dilbert to manga, and how they reflect/are affected by ideology. Some good insight into women's issues, as well as those of the GLBT community. There's a piece on how accurately the series "The 'Nam" reflected the war it described, which was interesting.

Some essays were better than others, obviously, but most of them were a bit simple. I would have seen a lot of the more survey-type essays look at things from a analytical perspective.

Worth it for the introduction, but there seems to be a lack of direction with the collected articles.
