Comics Research Bibliography 2025 PRINT Edition available in 3 volumes
It's still online for free, but a 3-volume print-on-demand version for libraries and collectors is available at the following URLs. Note that this DOES NOT include the online addenda, and is essentially the online version split into three printed parts.
Recapping from our previous email on this subject:
If you're getting this notice, there's a good chance you're in the new 1800 page annual update of the Bibliography, on its 30th anniversary. We're also commemorating John A. Lent's 90th birth year, since John started the field with his 10 volume set. Tony Rose has been assisting for the past couple of years, and librarian Elizabeth Walker has just joined the team.
The CRB is a worldwide bibliography of all types of comic art, including comic books, comic strips, caricature, gag cartoons, animation, editorial cartoons, biography, webcomics, political cartoons, history of cartooning, and comics scholarship.
An addenda of 2000 more pages of unsorted citations is at https://archive.org/details/crb-2025-addendum These citations have been formatted but not yet placed into the CRB. Many of them are from the first online iteration of the CRB, now preserved on the Internet Archive. For our 30th Anniversary and in honor of John Lent's 90th birth year, we are providing these as a resource the first time, since they are searchable by keyword. However, the goal remains to empty this document by placing all the citations into the main bibliography which is online now at Comics Research Bibliography. A version combining both into an almost 4000-page document will be posted later this week (after I create a new cover for it).
You can follow our daily progress either on my ComicsDC blog at https://comicsdc.blogspot.com/search?q=%22Comics+research+bibliography%22&max-results=20&by-date=true or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555263475365
While I have your attention, please consider subscribing to the International Journal of Comic Art at http://www.ijoca.net/ . And forward this to anyone you think might be interested.

The Lent Comic Art Classification System, 2nd ed. PRINT version now available
It's still online for free, but a print-on-demand version for libraries and collectors is available at https://www.lulu.com/shop/mike-rhode-and-john-a-lent/the-lent-comic-art-classification-system-second-ed/paperback/product-v8wwzpd.html
Recapping from our previous email on this subject:
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/Lent%20Comic%20Art%20Classificiation%202nd%20ed%20FINAL/
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.

March 31: Halsey Berryman at Peoples Book in Takoma Park
From their newsletter:
Finally, friend of the store Halsey Berryman will be at the shop on Tuesday, March 31 at 6:30 PM to talk about Pests & Other Friends. You might know Halsey from her very funny and talented cartooning career, and her debut book is just as delightful. Pests and so-called nuisance animals get a bad rap…but each and every one of them serves a purpose in their ecosystem. Learn how helpful, intelligent, and fascinating these creatures can be in this lushly illustrated exploration of North American wildlife.

Pests and so-called nuisance animals get a bad rap…
…but each and every one of them serves a purpose in their ecosystem. Learn how helpful, intelligent, and fascinating these creatures can be in this lushly illustrated exploration of North American wildlife.
Armadillos dig holes in backyards, but did you know that they also consume many troublesome species like fire ants, yellowjackets, and cockroaches? Or that prairie dog burrows provide other animals with much needed shelter? From the deserts of the Southwest to the city streets of the East Coast, Pests & Other Friends celebrates the unique ways in which these underappreciated animals benefit their individual environments.
Halsey Berryman's beautifully detailed, whimsical artwork captures the distinctive traits of these regularly slandered critters, ensuring you'll never look at pigeons, skunks, or alligators the same way again.
Halsey Berryman (she/her) is an illustrator and lettering artist from Washington, DC, who grew up between DC, Harvard, Massachusetts, and Taos, New Mexico. Halsey received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2014 from the Corcoran College of Art + Design, where she studied painting and drawing. Some of her clients include the Washington Post, AOC for Congress, Sleater-Kinney, Austin City Limits Music Festival, PBS, Bird Collective, and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. Halsey's work explores the interaction between the human and natural world, and what these often humorous exchanges and commonalities can teach us during the Anthropocene. Drawn to the most maligned creatures, Halsey's work is often centered around the underdogs of the animal world, underscoring social and political parallels with animal behavior and cultural signifiers through visual satire. As a dedicated realist, she is inspired by vintage nature illustrations, but as a fan of color, her north star is risograph printing. Halsey lives in Takoma Park, Maryland with her wife, two dogs, three cats, and a collection of plants.
