Critics Review
This is a strong volume with a number of creative essays from many established scholars. There is not a single essay in this collection that is not worth reading.
Comics and Sacred Texts offers a wonderfully interesting and diverse collection of insights into the world of sacred meaning and graphic texts. It continues and advances important work across a variety of fields. Scholars of religion, comics, and literature more broadly will find meaningful new ways of thinking about how one sees the sacred and about how one engages the many graphic materials so many so thoroughly enjoy.–Stephen J. Lind, author of A Charlie Brown Religion: Exploring the Spiritual Life and Work of Charles M. Schulz
