1st printing. By Rachael Smith. SNIPPETS: 52 WEEKS OF DIARY COMICS teaches the basics of writing and drawing comic strips in a diary format that provides a record of your year, your growth as an artist and storyteller, and a place to experiment and explore your creativity. For artists and non-artists alike, each week a new prompt will inspire users with suggestions of stories they can tell, or tips they can try.

At the end of the week, the user has a completed comic strip to share with others, use as the basis for a bigger, longer story, or simply a private record of their life and growth as an artist.

1st printing. By Alex M. Wainer. This is a book about the comics genre and language, how these were used to create Batman, and how that character's longevity is largely due to the medium's unique formal qualities. It argues that Batman's core appeal is his mythic nature which allows him to transcend changes in reader tastes, the vicissitudes of the comics industry, and the changing media landscape. It is a study of how the formal aspects of comics are able to evoke uniquely mythic qualities that have made Batman such a long-lived cultural phenomenon. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, Text. Cover price $40.00.
