Description

Comics have long been a source of fascination, raising questions about representation, narrative, and value. Philosophy of Comics is an introduction to these philosophical questions, exploring the history and variety of the comics medium. Sam Cowling and Wesley D. Cray examine the emerging field of the philosophy of comics, drawing on diverse forms and genres, including classic comics such as Watchmen, Tales from the Crypt, and Fun Home. The authors tackle a range of puzzles, including the nature of fictional characters, the adaptability of comics, and the boundaries between genres. They also consider the ethics and aesthetics of comics, and what it means for a work to be obscene or pornographic. This book is an ideal introduction to the philosophy of comics, offering insights into some of its most central and puzzling questions. By exploring the complexities of the comics medium, Philosophy of Comics provides a nuanced understanding of the subject, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of art, literature, and philosophy.
