Routledge Focus on Gender, Sexuality, and Comics Studies will publish original short-form research in the areas of gender and sexuality studies as they relate to comics cultures past and present. Topics in the series will cover printed as well as digital media, mainstream and alternative comics industries, transmedia adaptions, comics consumption, and various comics-associated cultural fields and forms of expression. Gendered and sexual identities are considered as intersectional and always in conversation with issues concerning race, ethnicity, ability, class, age, nationality, and religion. The scope aims to include volumes on as many national and transnational comics cultures as possible, broadening the perspective to embrace considerations of comics culture in for example South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
