The System of Comicsby Thierry Groensteentranslated by Bart Beaty and Nick Nguyen.This edition of Thierry Groensteen's The System of Comics makes available in English a groundbreaking work on comics aby one of the medium's foremost scholars.
In this book, originally published in France in 1999, Groensteen ranges broadly through the history of comics to explain clearly the subtle, complex workings of the medium and its unique way of combining visual, verbal, spatial, and chronological expressions.The System of Comics uses examples from a wide variety of countries including the United States, England, Japan, France, and Argentina.
It describes and analyzes the properties and functions of speech and thought balloons, panels, strips, and pages to examine methodically and insightfully the medium's fundamental processes.From this, Groensteen develops his own coherent, overarching theory of comics, a "system" that he builds on existing studies of the "word and image" paradigm while adding innovative approaches of his own.
Examining both meaning and appreciation, the book provides a wealth of ideas that will challenge the way scholars approach the study of comics. Aby emphasizing not simply "storytelling techniques" but also the qualities of the printed page and the reader's engagement, the book's approach is broadly applicable to all forms of interpreting this evolving art.Thierry Groensteen is a comics scholar born in Brussels, Belgium, the founding publisher of Editions de l'An 2, and the curator of the Angouleme Comics Museum in Angouleme, France.
Bart Beaty is associate professor of communication and culture at the University of Calgary.Nick Nguyen is an archivist at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, Ontario.
