Italian Comics in the New Millennium. Vol. 1. Continuity and Innovation

A thought-provoking, critical roller-coaster ride which deftly highlights the variety of contemporary Italian comics production, from the most venerable publishing houses to the most recent web-based formats. These two volumes are a welcome homage to a deep-rooted comic tradition that keeps reinventing itself.

These two volumes on Italian comics, conceived and edited by Alessio Aletta, immediately establish themselves as landmark contributions for both scholars and enthusiasts. Contemporary comics emerge among the most radically self-reflective artistic forms of our digital era, while also claiming a vital place within the broader framework of the history of books and publishing.
