That's a Jae Lee? Goodness. I'm glad I'm not familiar with his nineties work. Even Maleev's is better.

Glad to see more comics criticism and theory from the Univeristy of Mississippi Press. My girlfriend, currently in the process of getting her Ph. D in literature, has written a lot of comics-related papers over the years and she frequently comments on how little actual academic discourse on comics exists (frustrating when trying to find sources for her own papers). I tried to come up with examples, but most of those fell under the "history" category, of which there is (not unpleasantly) plenty. UoM Press has put out a number of good volumes on comics history themselves and some good criticism to boot, so the more the better, I say. I'm definitely pre-ordering from the current Diamond catalogue.
