Yet transmedial adaptations are part of an evolution that can be traced to the turn of the last century, when comic strips such as “Little Nemo in Slumberland” and “Felix the Cat” were animated for the silver screen. Representing diverse academic fields, including technoculture, film studies, theater, feminist studies, popular culture, and queer studies, \u003ci\u003eComics and Pop Culture\u003c\/i\u003e presents more than a dozen perspectives on this rich history and the effects of such adaptations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamining current debates and the questions raised by comics adaptations, including those around authorship, style, and textual fidelity, the contributors consider the topic from an array of approaches that take into account representations of sexuality, gender, and race as well as concepts of world-building and cultural appropriation in comics from \u003ci\u003eModesty Blaise\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eBlack Panther\u003c\/i\u003e.
