The Lent Comic Art Classification System, 2nd ed. available online now for free

Long before the Library of Congress started revamping its cataloguing for comic art, John Lent had devised a system of his own. For his 90th birth year, we've updated the 2016 version and published it online for free with over 900 new terms added.  at 
https://archive.org/details/lent-comic-art-classificiation-2nd-ed-final/

This classification system is derived from John A, Lent's 10-volume set of Comic Art Bibliography with additions and emendations by Mike Rhode published versions of the Comics Research Bibliography.

"In 1986, in preparation for a conference presentation in India, I self-published a 156-page international bibliography on comic art, which I also sent to some libraries and researchers. That led to the compilation of ten volumes of comic art sources, broken down by regions, genres, functions, and other aspects, published by Greenwood Press between 1994 and 2006. As I assembled materials for these bibliographies, I developed categories into which to place sources. The classification system presented in this monograph is the result. The classification system portrayed in these pages is meant to bring some order to filing, categorizing, and discussing comics and cartoons. Actually, the fullest section, on the United States, can be used with minor modifications to organize comic art studies about any country." - John Lent

We're pleased to welcome Lizzy Walker to the team with this new edition, and expect to have annual updates. 

A print-on-demand version for libraries is underway.

Mike Rhode

Matthew Dow Smith's new book in April: AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE NEW HEAD GHOST

AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE NEW HEAD GHOST   (C) Matthew Dow Smith   Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a "normal" childhood. For one thing, her dad's the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she's spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia's concerned, her life's actually pretty cool.   When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren't having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she's learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You'd think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he's actually pretty boring.   And if a boring ghost tutor wasn't bad enough, now Amelia's dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn't be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally…   ISBN: 9781545824580 Release Date: April 7, 2026
