Overview
"The purpose of this thesis is twofold: first, to understand the history and larger impact of the mainstream comic book industry and second, to critically approach the industry and the way it functions today. This thesis does both of those things through the use of critical theory, interviews, and historical research in order to put forth a thorough overview of the comic book industry and also examine the state of modern comics." --Abstract.
