This special issue considers the various ways that children’s drawings have been imagined, solicited and organized in comics history. The diversity and multiplicity of interactions between comics (as a cultural object produced for children) and children’s drawings (both as objects of adult discourses and as children’s productions) offer a vast field of inquiry, from conceptions of graphic style in comics to children’s recycling of comics in their own drawings.
This special issue is an outcome of the COMICS project, funded by the European Research Council’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
