"With Oxford's publication of this groundbreaking tome, the world of comics studies felt the quake of tectonic plates radically shift. Aldama's expertly curated volume travels us across and into all variety of the planet's soils that have grown wondrous stories in all genres, that touch on all themes, and that express all our resplendent identities and experiences. I've been in this game as a scholar and practitioner of comics most of my life. I've been waiting for such a definitive corpus of scholarly and scholar-practitioner work as this to shout resoundingly and definitively shout from rooftops: Comics are worldly! Comics are global! Comics are our future!" -- John Jennings, multi-Eisner Award winning scholar and creator as well as Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside
