With Son of Classics and Comics, editors George Kovacs and C. W. Marshall have produced no degener Neoptolemus but rather a worthy successor to their 2011 Classics and Comics and another important addition to the OUP Classical Presences series. A notable feature of this sequel to the original volume is a much expanded geographical focus: whereas the majority of chapters in the first volume dealt with North American comics, three quarters of the present chapters treat material from the distinctive Japanese, European, and British comic book traditions. In addition, many of the texts examined tend towards the “highbrow” end of the comic book spectrum, which should help to convince the shrinking contingent of doubting Thomas Waynes that the medium offers fertile material for serious study by Classical scholars.
