The System of Comics #[nn]

This volume collects the English-language translation of Thierry Groensteen's seminal theoretical work on the language of comics, originally published in French in 1999. It systematically examines the unique narrative structures and visual grammar of the medium, introducing key concepts such as 'arthrology' and 'braiding' to analyze how panels and pages create meaning. Published by University Press of Mississippi as part of its academic series, this edition is a foundational text for scholars and serious students of comics theory.
