Od edycji limitowanej do galeryjnej. Wstęp do „materialnej” teorii komiksu

Abstract

The article is an attempt to understand the need to develop methodological and theoretical tools for defining and underlining the meaning of a comic book’s material quality. Assuming that the modern tactile and sensual aspects of a physical manifestation of the comic book medium are becoming one of its most important specifics, then the author, is trying to explore the scientific consequences of a turn towards focusing on the “materialistic” inside the comic book industry. With full understanding of that matter then a starting point for a discussion can be made about the more general offensive of printed publications against ongoing virtualization, or de-materialization of written texts.
