Comics retain close links with literature which are analysed in detail in this volume with reference to examples. Its main focus is upon adaptations of literary texts by comic-strip artists. It presents examples of such adaptations taken from the international body of literary comic art and includes theoretical reflections upon them. This monograph will be a standard work for research on comics and intermediality will serve as an important source of inspiration.

This collection links the use of media to the larger socio-cultural processes involved in collective memory-making. The focus in particular is on 'mediation' and 'remediation' as two fundamental aspects of media use, and on the dynamics between them. Key questions are:
What role do media play in the production and circulation of cultural memories? How do mediation, remediation and intermediality shape objects and acts of cultural remembrance? How can new, emergent media redefine or transform what is collectively remembered?
