The ninth release in CREATe’s Working Paper Series is now available for download. Writing About Comics and Copyright by Ronan Deazley and Jason Mathis explores, with the aid of beautiful comic illustrations, the challenges faced by scholars when seeking to write about visual work. It asks what constitutes ‘a work’ protected by copyright within the context of comics publishing? What does it mean to speak of ‘insubstantial copying’ from a copyright-protected comic? And what can be copied lawfully from a comic for the purpose of criticism and review?
