Post-Soviet Russian Komiks

[Jose Alaniz]

The International Journal of Comic Art (Vol. 7, No. 1, Spring/Summer, 2005)
features the first major study of Russian comic art in English, "Post-Soviet
Russian Komiks: A Symposium," edited and with an introduction by Jose Alaniz
(UW Seattle). The symposium brings together older Russian essays on komiks
(by Viktor Erofeyev, Denis Chekalov) along with newly commissioned essays
and interviews (by Oleg Semenyuk, Ivan Mitrevski, Philippe Morin and Jose
Alaniz).  Its aim is to provide a historical sketch of the medium's
development in Russia, especially from the late Soviet period to the present
day; a sense of the form's reception in Russia; and an examination of
individual works/artists through a cultural studies lens.  Please contact
IJOCA's editor, John Lent, at 1-610-622-3938 or jlent at temple.edu to order a
copy.
