Abstract

Artists’ books consider every aspect of the book in the creation of meaning. How might reading the comic book through this context extend the possibilities of the art form? Can considering the whole book change the way creators and readers approach the comic? This article considers the space between book arts and comics, asking how they might fit together and considering the possible benefits of this expanded reading for the comic book as a form.
