Pace University Press presents Mean Streets Volume 3.

In this special edition, comic experts focus on the literary and cultural exchange between German and French comics and the influence they had and still have on each other today.

Pace University Press presents Journal of Comics and Culture Volume 7.

Original monographs, research, history, book reviews, and analysis reflect the innovative creative talents in the field, ground-breaking works, and how comics and graphic novels both reflect and inform American culture. In the past 40 years, comics have moved from occupying a decidedly lowbrow niche at the margins of pop culture to the center of the popular and critical imagination. Comics—a catch-all term that encompasses monthly comic books, graphic novels, and web comics—are embedded in, relate to and comment upon other forms of media like film, painting, and the novel.

LEX NATURALIS VOLUME 6

This volume explores the tenuous connection between contemporary moral problems and what rights the Founders considered sacred.

The journal seeks to present the vitality and variety of thought within that community of intellectuals who cannot and will not separate ethics from the conclusions that have been and are still being drawn from natural law.
