Abstract
This study is original in two ways, firstly in the recuperation and presentation to the reader of many long-forgotten and currently overlooked sources, and secondly in the way these sources are approached methodologically and interpreted. By and large, the comics mentioned in the pages that follow represent new material for media history1 This book adopts the premise that, as fresh sources, they also require an original approach, one that has been labelled ‘comics as a cultural record’.
