World Comics: The Basics approaches the history of comic books as a global one, one that includes the physical transmigration of artists and their styles and worldviews from one place to another, and increasingly includes the active participation of creators and editors in the publishing and translating of comic books across time, languages, cultures and communities. In this accessible guide, Aldama demonstrates that while each country has it's own particular comics tradition such as Franco-Belgian bande dessinées, Japanese manga, Italian fumetti, Spanish tebeos, Latin American historietas, German comicbuch, Filipino komiks, Korean manhwa, and Chinese lianhuanhua, among others, taken as a whole they make up a vibrant and transformative world republic of comics.

Offering an accessible introduction to the world of comics, this book provides a critical overview of how the form and content of comic books from around the globe have evolved over time.From Tokyo's manga cafés to Buenos Aires's kioscos, from Parisian ateliers to Lagos's digital studios, comics have become a truly planetary art form. Global Comics: The Basics is a comprehensive guide to this vibrant world republic of sequential art, tracing how local traditions-Japanese manga, Franco-Belgian bande dessinée, Latin American historietas, African comics, and more-developed their distinctive visual grammars while increasingly cross-pollinating across borders.
