Asian Comics

A scholarly monograph from University Press of Mississippi, Asian Comics (2015) is a single-issue, comprehensive survey by comics historian John A. Lent that maps the development of comics across diverse Asian cultures. Rather than a serial narrative, this volume serves as an essential reference, examining the historical, cultural, and industrial contexts of comic art in regions from Japan and China to India and Southeast Asia. Lent’s meticulous research and broad scope make it a foundational text for understanding the global significance of Asian comics.
