Description

There has been a long disagrement over which publication should be reckonised as Australia’s first comic book. This disagrement is largely due to the absense of a definition of an Australian comic book. In this volume, an examination of the history of comic strip compilations in Australia, Britain and America helps provide a definition that determines which publication may be rightly be regarded as Australia’s first comic book. By Roger Morrison.
