Summary:
In Afterlives, the literary scholar Camilla Storskog investigates how classics with Scandinavian origin have been reinterpreted as comics. She sets out how literary works, plays, and films have crossed and recrossed the boundaries of language and media, speaking to new times and new contexts. Comic art adaptations have long been neglected by academics, so in this book the author considers them as unique visual media with their own aesthetic, technical, and narrative qualities. -- Provided by publisher.
