Adapted and Drawn by Joshua Santospirito. | Contributor(s): | Scully, Richard (author); Santospirito, Joshua (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17873 | Abstract: | Reviewing recent advances in Australian graphic novels, Bernard Caleo (2014: 16) could hardly contain his excitement at the appearance of two breakthrough publications: Pat Grant's 'Blue' (2012) and Joshua Santospirito's 'The Long Weekend in Alice Springs' (2013). Both books were hailed as key means by which comics could "break out of the hermetic worlds" they inhabit, and "find new readers... for whom comics might be a medium that they have not read since childhood, if at all." | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DE130101789 | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Comic Art, 17(1), p. 131-148 | Publisher: | John A Lent, Ed & Pub | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1531-6793 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 190104 Visual Cultures 210303 Australian History (excl Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander History) 190599 Visual Arts and Crafts not elsewhere classified |
