Abstract
This article reviews Monstrous Women in Comics, edited by Samantha Langsdale and Elizabeth Rae Coody (University Press of Mississippi, 2020). This collection contains fifteen scholarly articles exploring a wide range of examples of female monstrosity as depicted in comics, and how the female characters often become the incarnation of difference by going beyond all kinds of boundaries through their monstrous forms. Within the expansive framework of a transdisciplinary approach, most articles succeed in exploring the dynamics between female roles in comics and the prevailing patriarchal viewpoints and tensions occurring among issues traditionally and stereotypically associated with women such as childbearing, motherhood, beauty, seduction as well as all stages of female sexuality, among other issues.
