Review Reading Comics: Language, Culture, and the Concept of the Superhero in Comic Books (Garland Studies in American Popular History and Culture) / Routledge:This study explores how the definition of the medium, as well as its language, readership, genre conventions, and marketing and distribution strategies, have kept comic books within the realm of popular culture. Since comics have been studied mostly in relation to mass media and its influence on society, there is a void in the analysis of the critical issues related to comics as a distinct genre and art form. By focusing on comics as narratives and investigating their formal and structural aspects, as well as the unique reading process they demand, this study presents a unique contribution to the current literature on comics, and helps clarify concepts and definitions useful in studying the medium. (Ph. D. dissertation, University of Alberta, 1995; revised with new preface, bibliography, and index).

Review Comics de Rius: la revolucioncita mexicana: Comics of Rius: The Petite Mexican Revolution/ Spanish Edition / Public Square Books:A critical history of the Mexican revolution, in comic form. Eduardo del Rio, aka Rius, is Mexico's foremost graphic narrator and one of the world's most famous cartoonists. Rius invented a new cartoon idiom by pictorially telling a story through monolog or dialog in which real characters and anonymous commentators interact to explain complex social and political issues. Rius's style uses humor as well as simple language and imagery to make these issues easily understood by all-his work fits into a '60s pedagogical tradition called concientizadora (raising consciousness).
