Böcker av Thierry Groensteen

This edition of Thierry Groensteen's The System of Comics makes available in English a groundbreaking work on comics by one of the medium's foremost scholars. In this book, originally published in France in 1999, Groensteen explains clearly the subtle, complex workings of the medium and its unique way of combining visual, verbal, spatial, and chronological expressions.

This book is the follow-up to Thierry Groensteen's groundbreaking The System of Comics, in which he set out to investigate how the medium functions, introducing the principle of iconic solidarity. He now develops that analysis further, using examples from a very wide range of comics.
