Bøger af Brannon Costello

Offers the first book-length critical evaluation of Howard Chaykin's work and confronts the blind spots in comics scholarship that consign this seminal artist to the margins. Brannon Costello argues that Chaykin's contributions are often overlooked because his comics eschew any pretensions to serious literature.

Focusing on the relationship between racial paternalism and social class in American novels written after World War II, Brannon Costello asserts that well into the twentieth century, attitudes and behaviours associated with an idealized version of agrarian antebellum aristocracy were believed to be essential for white southerners.
