Editorial Reviews

"highly recommended"-Midwest Book Review; "With the publication of Graphic Novels and Comics in the Classroom, editors Carrye Kay Syma and Robert G. Weiner have given us a tangible artifact to testify to the pervasive applicability of comics in educational settings. Their contributors are serious scholars with serious ideas about teaching comic books. This is no laughing matter, but a credible means for bringing the impact of the comics form into the classrooms of the twenty-first century. The contributors represent a wide-range of intellectual disciplines where instruction in graphic storytelling form is finding a home in academia. The editors are to be praised for coordinating such a multi-disciplinary initiative, one that mirrors the emerging field of Comics Studies itself so well."-Matthew J. Smith, co-author of The Power of Comics: History, Form & Culture.
