- Double-weighted statement
- Double-weighted based on extent of research, dual focus, originality, significance, impact. This is the first monograph on any individual British girls’ comic, based on extensive primary research (archival annotation, interviews, textual analysis, quantitative and qualitative projects). It foregrounds unique and previously unknown interview material and rare, unstudied comics texts. It has a dual focus: both a cultural history of British comics (detailing how the forgotten UK comics industry operated) and it develops an existing body of Gothic critical theory, defining a new and undertheorized subgenre: Gothic for Girls. It won the 2020 Broken Frontier Award for Best Book on Comics.
