Weiner have given us a tangible artifact to testify to the pervasive applicability of comics in educational settings. Their contributors are <i>serious</i> scholars with <i>serious</i> ideas about teaching <i>comic</i> books. This is no laughing matter, but a credible means for bringing the impact of the comics form into the classrooms of the twenty-first century. The contributors represent a wide-range of intellectual disciplines where instruction in graphic storytelling form is finding a home in academia. The editors are to be praised for coordinating such a multi-disciplinary initiative, one that mirrors the emerging field of Comics Studies itself so well."--Matthew J.
