    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    "Aldama charts the impossible. He forges the compass that navigates Comics Studies across our vast planetary system of comics—from theories of comics grammatexts built from the Bayeux tapestry and Mesoamerican codices, to insights into Herriman's boundary-shattering Krazy Kat and mind-blowing race-speculative word-drawn narratives that demolish and rebuild the rules of representation. His 22 Key Concepts do more than mark destinations—they blast open portals to unexplored territories, revealing new comics galaxies!"


    John Jennings, Multi-Eisner Award-winning comics creator and Professor at the University of California, Riverside
