Title | Comic books, politics and readers: the influence of the 2000AD group of comics creators on the formation of Anglo-American comics culture. |
Authors | Little, B. |
Abstract | This thesis accounts for the influence on the mainstream American comic book industry of a group of comics creators from the cult British science fiction magazine 2000AD in the early 1980s. It details the way in which these creators developed new methods for approaching politics in comic books and delivering that to a more diverse group of readers as a response to censorship in Britain of the boys magazine Action. |
