The applicability of this volume is perhaps its greatest strength, with each contributor providing clear examples of both the why and how of reading and making comics in instruction.--Jason D. DeHart Studies in Comics, Vol. 11, No. 1 As someone who regularly reads and teaches comics in a range of disciplinary contexts, I found With Great Power Comes Great Pedagogy an intellectual treat as scholars and artists share the tools, techniques, and theories that inform their teaching students to draw and critically engage with graphic storytelling. It's great to learn about the classroom experiences of thoughtful educators as they recount what did and did not work with their students. And at the same time, the essays question established wisdom in order to provoke us to think in new ways about what it might mean to study comics or to break down the boundaries between thinking and making, between theory and practice, as they relate to this medium.--Henry Jenkins, author of Comics and Stuff

The applicability of this volume is perhaps its greatest strength, with each contributor providing clear examples of both the why and how of reading and making comics in instruction.--Jason D. DeHart Studies in Comics, Vol. 11, No. 1 Although comics studies has now rightly claimed its role in academia, a potential gap remains: the discussion of pedagogical practices about how best to incorporate, teach, and use comics in the classroom. The book With Great Power Comes Great Pedagogy: Teaching, Learning, and Comics, edited by Susan E. Kirtley, Antero Garcia, and Peter E. Carlson, is an excellent foray into this arena as it offers fantastic essays and insights into how comics function in the classroom from early education to college-level courses. . . . This collection is a remarkable one. . . . All the elements of this collection work in tandem to offer a unique, helpful resource that would be a wise read for any comics scholar or educator looking to utilize comics in the classroom.--ImageTexT Erika Rothberg As someone who regularly reads and teaches comics in a range of disciplinary contexts, I found With Great Power Comes Great Pedagogy an intellectual treat as scholars and artists share the tools, techniques, and theories that inform their teaching students to draw and critically engage with graphic storytelling.
