Editorial

This introduction summarizes the contents of the issue, listing the articles and their main themes, the reviews we have included, and the details of the comics. It points towards the range and breadth of the articles, interviews, reviews and comics gathered here, which take in the intersections of comics and music, poetry, trauma, tradition and humour. It concludes that, taken together, this issue’s content pushes at the boundaries of what might be considered comics: by considering the medium’s relationships with other media, deconstructing its history, iconography and traditions, and exploring the processes, places and influences that underpin its creation.
