Description
"This is the first academic volume to examine the librarian and archival professional through the lens of sequential art. The portrayal of libraries/librarians in sequential art has a long history from the Golden Age to the present day. Libraries and archives in comics historically are seen as places of important knowledge and information. This volume takes a deep dive into a multitude of source material to show how librarians/archivists and libraries/archives are used within the comic medium to address multiculturalism, LGBTQ issues, archival practice, and even the concept of librarians as "baddies" or stewards of information unwilling to share with others. The wide breadth of material examined here includes Miyazaki's Nausicaa, Speigleman's Maus, Bechdel's Queer Dykes to Watch Out For, Marvel's Black Panther, Nono's Yoake No Toshokan, DC's Batgirl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics, Gaiman's The Sandman, webcomics, Marvel's America Chavez character, Schultz's Xenozoic Tales and much more"--
