Review
“Lent is a prolific writer of books and articles on mass communication and a leading proponent of comic art scholarship. With these three compilations, he offers an enormous contribution to that scholarship. These works reflect long years of independent, painstaking compilation. What Lent has given us, is marvelous, and as comic art continues to be recognized and analyzed by various disciplines, these volumes should prove indispensable. All these titles are highly recommended for all academic collections.”–Choice

“...an invaluable research tool that will save countless hours in the library....Lent is to be commended for his efforts. Scholars working in any discipline related to comic arts should encourage their institutions to add his bibliographies to the library reference collection. Those who have chosen comic arts as their primary field of research should seriously consider purchasing these bibliographies for their own research collection.”–Studies in American Humor
