Explores links between the evolution of comics and horror through an analysis of the range of approaches and traditions that unite them.

Horror and Comics brings together an international collection of contributors to discuss how multiple aspects of comics (forms, cultures, histories) have contributed to the depiction and development of horror across many subgenres, including folk horror, ecohorror, gothic romance, and more. The essays also investigate how horror has informed the development of comics across multiple periods, places, and genres, spanning Brazil, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States. The collection avoids a narrow focus on time, author, or theme to embrace broader contexts and issues that continue to preoccupy comics and horror scholarship.

By considering well-known horror comics alongside understudied ones, it re-examines and re-energizes established concepts such as the abject, the Other, and closure, applying them to diverse texts, contexts, authors, and audiences, and demonstrating the potential of comics and horror to encourage innovations of form and content in each other.
