“Modesty Blaise” Cut up in Sweden: The Challenges of Adapting a Newspaper Comic Strip to the Comic Book Format

Abstract

New Readings provides a fully peer-reviewed platform for original research in the fields of literature, film, cultural history and visual culture. Aiming to stimulate debate between specialists from different disciplines, the journal has a strong, but by no means exclusive, interest in scholarship that cuts across traditional disciplinary and national boundaries, as well as comparative work, and is open to a variety of angles and methodological approaches. Submissions in languages other than English are considered for publication, as long as the choice of language is justified by the subject. The journal’s Open Access policy ensures a wide audience beyond academia. We welcome proposals for guest-edited themed issues.
