Taiwan Comics

History, Status, and Manga Influx 1930s–1990s

I-yun Lee

Book 3 in the Stockholm Studies in Media Arts Japan series.

This book is the first comprehensive introduction to the extraordinarily complex comics culture of Taiwan, where, under martial law, mainland Chinese traditions of political cartoons and popular “picture book” existed side by side with pirated and often obscured Japanese manga. Taking a media-historical perspective, the book traces the changes in comics’ cultural, symbolic, and economic capital. It considers publication formats, distribution channels, and stylistic conventions, analyzes the official discourse through government documents and newspaper articles, and scrutinizes the censorship system.
