- Urban Comics (273pp.) brings together five original chapters about graphic narratives from five Southern cities often neglected in both comics studies and urban studies: Cairo, Cape Town, New Delhi, New Orleans, Beirut. On-the-ground research was undertaken in four of the cities, and the monograph analyses graphic narratives about and comics networks in these cities. Developing a methodology that draws out similarities between the infrastructure of the comics page and urban infrastructure, the book decouples, decolonises, and reconnects the interdisciplinary fields of comics studies and urban studies, highlighting the continuities between these different spaces through examples from across the global South.
