Kramer’s Ergot 7 at du9

My first (long) article for the French comics/bande dessinée site du9 is now up. It’s on Kramer’s Ergot 7 and the use of scale in the included pages. (There’s also a French translation.)
Comic Art: Characteristics and Potentialities of a Narrative Medium, Abbott (1986)

Abbott’s article from 1986 seems to be one of the earlier examples in English that takes a more formal approach to discussing comics. Most of what I have that pre-dates this is in French (with a few exceptions). I did a citation search in a few places to see if there was much discussion about this article, but I found little. It’s cited a few times, mostly, I think, because it was a scholarly source that could be cited on comics for some common sense elements of comics (words affect the pictures, pictures affect the words).
