Comics Review

A short-lived but ambitious series from Manuscript Press, Comics Review ran for seven issues from 1984 to 1985, offering a scholarly, critical perspective on the medium during a transformative era. Primarily written by Rick Norwood, the title stands out as an early, serious-minded attempt to analyze and discuss comics as an art form, bridging the gap between fandom and academic study. Its brief run makes it a notable artifact of the mid-80s shift toward more thoughtful comics criticism.
