{"product_id":"comics-and-adaptation","title":"Comics and Adaptation","description":"\u003cbr\u003eContributions by Jan Baetens, Alain Boillat, Philippe Bourdier, Laura Caraballo, Thomas Faye, Pierre Floquet, Jean-Paul Gabilliet, Christophe Gelly, Nicolas Labarre, Benoît Mitaine, David Roche, Isabelle Schmitt-Pitiot, Dick Tomasovic, and Shannon Wells-Lassagne\u003cbr\u003eBoth comics studies and adaptation studies have grown separately over the past twenty years. Yet there are few in-depth studies of comic books and adaptations together. Available for the first time in English, this collection pores over the phenomenon of comic books and adaptation, sifting through comics as both sources and results of adaptation. Essays shed light on the many ways adaptation studies inform research on comic books and content adapted from them. Contributors concentrate on fidelity to the source materials, comparative analysis, forms of media, adaptation and myth, adaptation and intertextuality, as well as adaptation and ideology.\u003cbr\u003eAfter an introduction that assesses adaptation studies as a framework, the book examines comics adaptations of literary texts as more than just illustrations of their sources. Essayists then focus on adaptations of comics, often from a transmedia perspective. Case studies analyze both famous and lesser-known American, Belgian, French, Italian, and Spanish comics.\u003cbr\u003eEssays investigate specific works, such as Robert Louis Stevenson's \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde\u003c\/i\u003e, the Castilian epic poem \u003ci\u003ePoema de Mio Cid\u003c\/i\u003e, Ray Bradbury's \u003ci\u003eMartian Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e, French comics artist Jacques Tardi's adaptation \u003ci\u003e120, rue de la Gare\u003c\/i\u003e, and Frank Miller's \u003ci\u003eSin City\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition to Marvel Comics's blockbusters, topics include various uses of adaptation, comic book adaptations of literary texts, narrative deconstruction of performance and comic book art, and many more.","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224636903768,"sku":"9781496803375","price":100.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781496803375_2a8651a2-1dee-4ec1-8a4a-4542bdc13e4c.jpg?v=1770195647","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/comics-and-adaptation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
