Since its inception in 1970 the Journal of Arabic Literature has provided an international scholarly forum for the discussion of Arabic literature and has secured its position at the forefront of critical and methodological debate. The journal publishes literary, critical and historical studies, as well as review and bibliographies, on a broad range of Arabic materials n~ classical and modern, written and oral, poetry and prose, literary and colloquial. Studies that seek to integrate Arabic literature into the broader discourses of the humanities and social sciences take their place alongside technical work of a more specialized nature. The journal thus addresses itself to a readership in comparative literature and literary theory and method, in addition to specialists in Arabic and Middle Eastern literatures and Middle East studies generally.

The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the graphic novel, comic strip and comic book, with the emphasis on comics in their cultural, institutional and creative contexts. Its scope is international, covering not only English language comics but also worldwide comic culture.

It therefore examines the production and consumption of comics within the contexts of culture: art, cinema, television and new media technologies. The journal will include all forms of 'sequential imagery' including precursors of the comic but the main emphasis will be on twentieth and twenty-first century examples, reflecting the increasing interest in the modern forms of the comic, its production and cultural consumption. Support for the Journal of Graphic Novels and ComicsThe Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics has come along at just the right time. The rapid growth in comics study in the academy, both within and across a number of disciplines, has revealed the increasing need of a peer-reviewed journal that is both interdisciplinary and that looks at comics in all its manifestations. Such a journal would serve as both a central gathering point for interesting scholarship, and as a legitimating force for the new scholars staking out this territory. The journal is well poised to address comics with the dynamism that the medium demands as well as the rigour which has been sometimes lacking.
